                             JAVA THEATER NEEDS YOUR HELP!

We're excited about our next production, "Hunger", portraying a family
struggling with abuse and food.  But mounting a theater piece is an 
expensive proposition!  So to help ease the burden we're hosting a benefit 
along with the Massachusetts Eating Disorder Association (MEDA).

In addition to our undying gratitude for your donation of just $10.00, we will
provide a delightful evening of music and comedy, and the chance to win
a number of wonderful gifts!

Entertainment is generously being provided by:

	singer Raven
	comedian Jerry Caruso
	and singer Justine Sullivan, with Gordon Hill!

Please join us Friday, April 25th, from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. at the
Cyclorama, Boston Center for the Arts, 539 Tremont Street, Boston, MA.

Tickets (covering admission and the raffle!) are available at the door, or
from
"Hunger" production members.  Attendance is not necessary to win prizes.

Donations may be sent to:
	Java Theater
	c/o Milton Coykendall
	11 Cameron Ave., #1
	Somerville, MA 02144

For more information, call 1 (617) 776-9563

    okay, it's nearly panic time!
    
    I have a show opening in one week.  We just got the final scene Tuesday
    night.  We have yet to run the show start to finish.  The director is
    still making changes in the directions.  We will have only 3 runs
    before we open.
    
    
    ARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Haven't you been there, done that? I know I have. It's not the way
it's supposed to be but the show comes together anyway, usually to
the mutual surprise of all concerned. It will be great. Lots of
(nervous) energy on stage, and for good reason.

Dave

Good luck E!!!!!!

(Doncha HATE when that happens??  ;-)  )

B

    No, I've never had the play not be *written* by at least a few weeks
    prior to opening.
    
    
    E

I take it back. I haven't been there and I haven't done that.
I've been in the band for a show where the last musical number
wasn't written until the last week of rehearsal, but that's just
not the same. The band doesn't have to memorize the music.

I am now in full agreement with your "ar...rg"!

Dave

    Well, thankfully we are all professionals, and have been doing this for
    a long time.  And we've bonded quite well as a cast.  In fact, I have a
    new friend.  So,.....
