I Am My Own Wife 3/43 4 3 2 3 2 1 2 84.5
The Jungle Theater TD: Phonograph motor clicked loudly during the first act.
AE: Brigitte Klentsch almost went up on one of her TWO lines; Charlotte and Doug tried to trip each other up a couple times.
"Semi-standing" ovation at the end. The slightly drooped energy of the entire cast picked up in the second act

The Jungle Theater TD: Go-button unplugged itself, sound cue a bit late; Mulack-Rtze fringe got caught in the wardrobe doors, they had to reopen mysteriously and close again.
AE: The cast doesn't recall any errors, but they're not the best source of information sometimes.
Another "semi-standing ovation".

The Jungle Theater Stasi Agent finally said "evidence" instead of "information". It took five years to get him to do that. Balvenie aneling in the dressing room apres-show.

The Jungle Theater TD: early light/sound cue
Wonderful audience. Someone in the cast had some gastro-intestinal activity during Act II; we suspect it was Alfred.

The Jungle Theater AE: Charlotte dropped the coin while putting it in the cash box: she had to improvise a little German to cover it.
The cast seemed a little self-conscious tonight.

The Jungle Theater AE: Doug rewrote one of his lines. But then a playwright would.
The older audience members in the front guffawed at all of Charlotte's blue stories. That was a nice surprise.

The Jungle Theater Wonderful crowd. The cast spent the day outside painting the garage in the cold air so there were some scratchy throats.

The Chameleon Theatre Circle TD: Competing with sound from facility's Main Stage

First snowfall of season
I Am My Own Wife 14/43 3 1 1 3 1 0 0 33.5
The Jungle Theater A man in the second row was texting for most of Act One. Long stretches of scenes delivered directly to him and the woman next to him, who acknowledged that the cast was speaking to her and the man on the phone were in vain since she fell asleep halfway through the act. An almost aggressively silent crowd. The cast had never felt lonelier on stage.

The Jungle Theater One audience member checked his phone about a dozen times during the performance. He was present at the post-show Q&A and the cast gently took him aside afterwards and discouraged him from doing it again.

The Jungle Theater Not long into the second act a man in the third row had such a prolonged, full-voiced sneezing fit, ending in an extended, wet trumpet blast into his handkerchief, that Charlotte had to stop and say "Gesundheit", ask if he was all right, and offer that it was winter and such things happen. Then she continued with another story.
