New Day #210

Learned a card trick, which I inflicted on several people at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, including Associate Producer Claudia Alick.



Also spent some time evesdropping on audience members. Here's some of what I overheard:

"They do have an intermission where we can leave, right?"

"Where do you want to sit?"
"Doesn't matter. I can nap anywhere."

"Iago's the bad guy."

"Did you read the synopsis? Does it sound depressing and horrible?"


And my favorite...

(Man on cell phone in bathroom): "No, I'm not in the theater exactly. I'm...well...taking a leak."

To be fair, there's always a lot of intelligent, insightful discussion of the plays going on at Ashland. But none of it is nearly as fun to jot down as this stuff.
