Good afternoon and may I have your attention please for a Pre-Performance post. Have I done one of those before? I mustn’t take the time to go back and check; I just looked at the clock, and I must allow time to fuss with my hair and dither over my costume. First, I hope, a cup of coffee. I just put it on to brew. I have traded coffee for Irish Breakfast Tea the past two mornings, so I have perhaps inflated expectations of how wonderful this coffee is going to taste.
The performance, as regular readers know, is Curtains for Frangelica, the murder mystery we are reviving from this past fall to present for the New Hartford American Legion tonight. I believe proceeds will go toward DAV vans. I only do these murder mysteries for charity, not profit. Killing for a Cause? You alliterate.
Throwing in a picture to pep up the post.
This is a picture from when we were rehearsing the show last fall at Herkimer Elks Lodge. It was fun then, and I have every reason to expect it to be fun now. There is really no reason to feel nervous. But of course I do.
Or will it be curtains for me?
The last I heard the show had not sold out. If any local readers are suddenly inclined to attend, tickets may still be available. New Hartford American Legion’s phone number is 315-736-7041. They are located at 8616 Clinton St., New Hartford, NY.
I think my coffee is ready. I know my nervousness will vanish and I will have a wonderful time once we start. I only hope I can find a pair of pantyhose without runs in them!
