Opening Week! What an amazing week we have had. Our once
chaotic play became a phenomenal production! Congrats to the
entire cast, crew, and the amazing orchestra for creating this truly great
show. The audience is giving rave reviews.
Twilight Takes Note
The Twilight Theatre official email recently noted that The Music Man
production is the embodiment of what community theatre is all
about: family, fun, and commitment. Our many events and
dinners are creating a standard future productions will work hard to
achieve. Thank you to this family and to your family.
A Lesson in
Stage Direction In is down, down is front.
Out is up, up is back.
Off is out, on is in.
Left is right and right is left.
A drop shouldn't and a block and fall does neither.
A prop doesn't and a cove has no water.
Tripping is OK.
A running crew rarely gets anywhere.
A purchase line buys you nothing.
A trap will not catch anything.
A gridiron has nothing to do with football.
Strike is work (In fact a lot of work).
And a green room usually isn't.
Now that you're fully versed in
theatre terms, '
Break a leg.' but not
really!
The Uneeda Biscuit
Up to the 1880s, crackers were unbranded and typically sold loose in
cracker barrels. But Adolphus Green, who had created the National
Biscuit Company through the acquisition of many small bakeries, decided
to develop a distinctive, nationally branded product that would take
advantage of the manufacturing and marketing strengths of his new
company. In 1889, Green hired the N. W. Ayer advertising agency to help
develop the new product. After considering and rejecting a variety of
names, Green settled on the name Uneeda Biscuit ("biscuit," Green
decided, was more elegant than "cracker"). The product would be
manufactured in a distinctive octagonal shape and sold in a waterproof
wax paper-lined box.
Cast Party
~ July 20th at 4 PM
This will be our
final curtain call. Let's have a great ending to a great
show. Each cast member needs to bring a dish according
his or her last name. We have a lot of activities and fun
planned for the cast party so make every effort to attend.
Watermelon Mania!
The hot nights in River City were pleasantly cooled last Tuesday as the
watermelon wagon rolled in. Thank you Denise Leak for providing
this cold snack. I don't believe water- melon has ever
been enjoyed so much!
Freeze Pops
A wonderful 'thank you' to Colleen Adams for providing Freeze Pops
last Thursday during intermission at Family Night. The frozen
treats hit the mark in the sweltering heat. The cast
thanks all the families that have given treats.
Ice Cream Social,
Again!
On Saturday night, the cast enjoyed ice cream, again. The quartet
even came to sing, "Ice Cream, Ice Cream, Ice Cream!"
This week of cool refreshment at intermission was a nice attitude
adjustment for everyone!

"You Don't
Have To Kiss Me Goodnight" The song that
never
made it to the show.
TOMMY
You don't have to kiss me Goodnight, my dear,
There's no obligation at all.
Those two cherry phosphates and the picture show,
Wiped out my allowance with a week to go,
Even so, you don't have to kiss me Goodnight, my dear.
My nerves are all on edge, but that's all right.
That place near the depot, for traveling men,
One shot of beer and I'll forget what might have been.
You may not even know me but we meet again!
Still and all, you don't have to kiss me goodnight.
I really mean it, you don't have to kiss me goodnight.
ZANEETA
No, no, no, wait! Ye Gods!!
I'd like you to kiss me goodnight, my dear.
If that's how you want it to be.
Of course when it's over I'll run away
And try to forget that I have gone astray,
All I say is Yes! You may kiss me goodnight, my dear.
You're much to strong for little me to fight.
I'll live as an outcast, away out there.
A painted fallen girl for whom no man could care.
The kind of scarlet woman who would dye her hair!
Still and all, I'd like you to kiss me goodnight.
I really mean it, I'm waiting, so kiss me goodnight!
TOMMY
No, no, no, no, no, no!
You don't have to kiss me goodnight, my dear
And now I'll be leaving your side.
I'll just smoke a pipe full of morpheme
To help me when the nightmares and the horrors come
Oh save me Billy Sunday! I'm a homeless bum!
Still and all, you don't have to kiss me.
ZANEETA
I want you to kiss me!
TOMMY
Goodnight, I really mean that!
But if you insist, All right.
