Pre Frangelica Jitters

Posted on January 26, 2025 by mohawkvalleygirl

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!

More Curtains for Frangelica!

Posted on January 15, 2025 by mohawkvalleygirl

I return to the blogosphere after an unexcused absence with a Post-Rehearsal Post.  It is in fact, the next day after rehearsal, a day in which I have already overslept and am feeling flustered about several things that I have left undone and cannot quite settle on the order in which to do them.  As I say, it is not easy being me.  Some days it is not even all that entertaining, but you’ll have that.

Picture to denote passage of time while I do at least one thing I should have done yesterday.

This is my wonderful cast from Curtains for Frangelica, the murder mystery we are presenting at the New Hartford American Legion in a scant two weeks, Saturday, Jan. 25.  Yikes, it’s more like a week and a half! The above picture is from when we were in rehearsals to present it at the Herkimer Elks Club to benefit the Herkimer County Historical Society.  We rehearsed at the legion last night, and it went very well.

From the Legion bulletin board.

They did not have any fliers we could take to hang up, but a cast member snapped a shot of the one they had hanging in the bar (it’s a really nice bar, by the way; if I lived in New Hartford, I would totally join that legion!).  In case you can’t read it, the New Hartford American Legion is located at 8616 Clinton St., New Hartford, NY.  The show is Saturday, Jan. 25 at 5:30 with dinner at 6 p.m.  Tickets are $45.  There were still tickets available as of last night.  The legion phone number is 315-736-7041.

I am definitely looking forward to offing Frangelica again!
