Yes, Daniel. That was the Playhouse. Instantly and easily recognizable from your description.
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I'm sorry, Sean. Even seeing the theater I worked lights in for three years shut down temporarily for a major reno was jarring. Seeing one close completely must hit very hard. I hope CA's economy starts to turn around soon so some money is there for the arts again. (Well, for other reasons, too. But the arts are sort of a bellwether for how the economy is doing.)

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Today's edition of Wake Up with Fry and Laurie [link] is a bit of a blooper.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm so sorry about the Playhouse, Sean. (And ND and all our other LA theatre-istas.)

Our wings are not tired.
Reminder to self to support my local theaters that see too little of me.
Any news on Bobby, yet, Laura?
He gets his MRI at 2 today. They don't know what is up with him. My maternal instinct thinks it is likely more than one thing, hence the many symptoms pointing in different directions. Poor kid feels like crap but I made him go to school until noon today anyway.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
But...theaters open. That's pretty much Theater History. It's very cyclical and longevity is not the byword.
That is very true. It is also very true that it's heartbreaking each and every time to those who devoted a lot of energy, sweat, and love to a place they called home.
Not right now and not in California.
Not anywhere really. The arts have been hit hard by the economy everywhere. Ticket sales, personal contributions and subscriptions are down because people have lost jobs or have taken paycuts. Corporate money is down because corporate revenues are down. Government funding has been cut. It's ugly everywhere.

Sigh. My phone interview just went horribly. I don't think I managed to say anything of substance. I do not like phone interviews.
