One of the projects on my "wish I had time list" is a cabinet 'bator. I want it to have multiple, slide out drawers so that I can pull open a drawer, candle that set of eggs, and then push the drawer back in. If I design it correctly, when the drawer is open, it still creates a seal so the 'bator does not cool down too rapidly.

Nice, I bet it will be awesome when you get it done! Lots of chicks from VF!

Yes, that's the term.

Thank you. One of the reasons I'm so excited to be part of this production is because Reservoir Dogs was always one of my faves too. I'm sorry you won't be able to make it, but I understand how hectic our lives can get!

Just a warning to Slinglings and TerrorBird now that you're car pooling with the other ladies, please be prepared - this show has just about every naughty word starting with every letter of the alphabet. Many of them I had to look up in the Urban Dictionary to understand how they should be delivered.

But "my crew" and I are playing VERY hard core criminals, so the characters will be speaking the way you'd expect.

My director has explained it like this -

So why Reservoir Dogs?

I have always loved words. Quentin Tarantino is one of modern American cinema’s greatest wordsmiths. I love the movie, but more than the cinematic reality of the thing it is it's bones that compel me. As iconic as the performances of Keitel, Roth, Buscemi et al have become, strip it all away and you have one hell of a script. In many ways Dogs is a perfect fit for theater, it needs quite a bit of adapting that is true, but much of the action happens in the wings, and what we are left with are these very human characters and the connections and consequences of their (sometimes very inhumane) actions. It's a very intimate story.


Why two productions?

When originally TAO decided to do Reservoir Dogs it was met with a huge wave of excitement, but at the same time, there was a current of disappointment. No roles for women. As a female director I am often called on the carpet for my choices of scripts. I was a bookish child, even as a young girl I was more drawn to Hugo and Dumas than Jane Austin. I can not explain it, it's just how it is. My difficulty is that not many plays written for women fit into my personal esthetic. I was having a conversation about that exact thing when it hit me, why not do it with women? That would be very interesting.

Once the possibility entered my mind I could not shake the excitement at the prospect, the opportunity for women to play characters such as these and play them straight, no kitsch, no clowning, no apologies, is a rare one. And now here we are, in the midst of rehearsals and it’s the best of both worlds.

I'm done with CL, And with rescues. THe rescue said i CANNOT adopt from them to inslave their puppy. Inslave Really? First off not even a word is it? And i'm guessing they mean i'm making a slave of a dog that would enjoy working.
My brother called me to ask how i felt about German shepherd mixs. He's calling his friend tonight that has a ***** that gave birth 3 weeks ago. he's going to see if he can reserve one for me.

Yes, those groups go way too far. Dogs are much happier when they have something to do, whether it's play or work. They don't know the difference, they just understand they are being "entertained". I hope you find the dog of your dreams!

"Enslave" really is a word! "To make into or as if into a slave."

If I order 2,200 - there's no need to be shy about getting some. How much I'd need from you depends on how many of the cartons you want. I'd be happy to give you 1,100 of them at .25 ea.
