Wife II
The day after Thanksgiving I auditioned for a theatre in Harrisburg PA that was doing I Am My Own Wife. This was the second time in a month, the first being Vermont Stage. I was called back on Saturday and then several days passed. By mid day Monday I chalked it up to another failed attempt. I moped around, kicking a two-by-four across the hall. Today I received a call offering me the part. I start the day after Christmas. We are now in a hurry-up-and-get-the-place-livable mode. It’s going to be tag team actors-on-the-road for the first half of ’07 for the merry band in our Haven on Haven.
Charlotta rides again.

CONGRATULATIONS! I'm so excited for
you but not really surprised. You
deserve it. PW
Oh, my word! You continue to amaze me, (as you always have)!!
Dennis -- fabulous! Do you know that Harrisburg is the closest city (about 1/2 hour's drive) to Carlisle, where I went to college (Dickinson)? Harrisburg is where I used to catch the trains to go visit Mark in Connecticut! My old stompin' grounds in PA: COOL. We'll be there for sure. Can't believe the gig starts so soon after xmas. :-( We're going to have to arrange a sneak-peak of the apartment before your departure.... Oh, and I really dig the green officette! Nice work!
great news, dennis. i looked up the theatre in harrisburg that's producing the piece. well, i stopped when i found one listing, assuming that pennsylvania allows only one wife at a time.
looks like you open around ground hog day-- competing with punksotonee phil in his home state.
i've always been taken by the claim, "paul newman IS hud." i was hoping for a parallel extravagance--"dennis fox is charlotta," but didn't see it on the theatre's web site. maybe for wife III.
i'll raise a glass of brown spirits to help honor your impending transition from repairing to acting.

Dennis,
Tried to congratulate you last week, but the commenting was broken (for me, at least). Anyway, this is awesome. I was bummed when I couldn't catch this in Iowa, but I'll make this one for sure. Great, great news....congrats!!
