How to make me blush #17

I swear that I had nothing to do with this. Of course, I'm amused as all get out over it. I've kept their formatting, although the italics are mine own.

FAQ:

Are you doing accents again? Really??*

Not to worry! Accents are limited and easy to understand.

I'd love to bring my kids!! Will they like it??

Yes. If they understand sex and physics. Otherwise, they may find it talky. It's not really an evening for the little one's like, say, Seussical would be.

I love Leta. I'd come see it if she were in it. Is she??

I'm glad you asked! She is!! Leta joins a stellar cast of new and veteran actors, directors and technicians - Rockville Little Theatre's best and, for the most part, brightest, including Director David Levin, WATCH nominated Sound Designer Robert Schaffer, and the ever so handsome Nic Ruley on Running Crew. Amazing, huh??

My tickets say "Anna in the Tropics", can I still get in??**

Of course you can! But I have to warn you, that is not the show that will be playing. We switched out. But if you think accents are a problem, could you imagine if we were doing Anna in the Tropics? Oy vey gevaldt!

Synopsis:

Arcadia is a play that moves back and forth between 1809 and the present at the elegant estate owned by the Coverly family. The 1809 scenes reveal a household in transition. As the Arcadian landscape is being transformed into picturesque Gothic gardens, complete with a hermitage, thirteen year old Lady Thomasina and her tutor delve into intellectual and romantic issues. Present day scenes depict the Coverly descendants and two competing scholars who are researching a possible scandal at the estate in 1809 involving Lord Byron. This brilliant play moves smoothly between the centuries and explores the nature of truth and time, the difference between classical and romantic temperaments, and the disruptive influence of sex on our life orbits the attraction Newton left out. Winner of the 1995 New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best Play and the 1994 Olivier Award.

* When RLT recently did an "accent show" some of audience complained about the impenetrability of the dialogue. So we are nearly accent-free. Kinda.

**Anna in the Tropics was the show originally scheduled for the January slot. Due to circumstances, etc, and, unfortunately, after the season tickets were printed, Arcadia had to be substituted for Anna.
