OMG. saw this one the menu and it sounded amazing, thankyou for confirming its visual beauty lol

Just a little T Rex info, if you can't book an ADR through Disney you can call them directly. They always hold a lot of reservations back for their own book.

In case anyone is in the Phoenix area and feeling "actorly"....

AUDITION NOTICE: WONDERLAND WIVES

NEARLY NAKED THEATRE, Phoenix, Arizona
will be holding auditions for the WORLD PREMIERE of
WONDERLAND WIVES
by Buddy Thomas
directed by Damon Dering

This is what happens when you have a fairy-tale marriage... and no pre-nup. The desperate housewives of Wonderland learn that princes can go to prison, shack up with a few little pigs, and drive even the fairest of them all to drink! Off-Broadway playwright Buddy Thomas (The Crumple Zone, Devil Boys From Beyond) honors Nearly Naked with the WORLD PREMIERE of his latest genderbent comedy... a fractured fairy tale that brings an arched eyebrow and an eye for dark, sexy hilarity to the “Ever After” that keeps going long after the happily fades away. ~intended for mature audiences with very immature tastes!~
NEEDED
6 actors aged 25-50+
Wonderland Wives is cast “genderblind,” with several roles able to be played by both men and women, as long as they’re “fabulous”! Please remember that all the princesses are "past their prime" as far as cartoons are concerned, and need to be approaching 30 a little too quickly.
CHARACTERS
SNOW (25-35): Her time with the dwarfs is long gone, but she still thinks she's fairest in the land... with the help of a very tight girdle.
BELLE (25-35): Turns out if your husband was once a "Beast" then your children might be as well. Makes a princess want to drink... a lot.
CINDY (25-35): Glass slippers are only for the dainty... and Cindy is past her dainty period. Now she's about to inhale the buffet table, and you'd better get out of her way.
ROSE (25-35): Someone just got back from rehab... and she looks fabulous! Maybe it was a Swiss plastic surgery center.
BRUCE (BEAST)/CHARMING (25-35): Plays both princes, one is hot, but right out of prison... the other... isn't hot. Beer has consequences.
FAIRY GODMOTHER/ALICE/MAGIC-MIRROR/EVIL QUEEN (45+): Alice (a la Bette Davis as Baby Jane) is just one of the crazy more "mature" characters played by this actor.

AUDITIONS will be held on MONDAY, February 29th from 6:00pm - 10:00pm at Metro Arts Institute on 7th Ave. & McDowell.
PREPARE cold reads from the script. Sides will be issues via email if actors submit and electronic headshot and resume (or any picture and a brief summary of experience).
REHEARSALS BEGIN
Thursday, Mar. 3rd. 4 to 5 nights a week, 6:00PM to 10:30PM.
RUN DATES
April 1st - April 23rd
APPOINTMENTS
are made by emailing your headshot and resume (or photo and brief summary of experience/training) to castingcouch@nearlynakedtheatre.org Please include your FULL NAME and PHONE NUMBER in the body of the email, NOT just on your attached resume. (Volunteers monitoring email account do not open attachments and thus cannot see your name and phone if you do not put it in the email). RESUMES are not required, but a HEADSHOT or ANY PICTURE OF YOURSELF is REQUIRED. Even a candid.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU! BREAK A LEG!

I'm on the wrong coast and not actorly at all but I'd love to see that play. I love twisted fairy tales. Seriously I have a few issues. My favorite movie to watch while snowed in is The 10th Kingdom.

Out for me tonight, have a great evening everyone. I hope to get some sleep tonight without coughing. Sorry that I sound like a broken record, I will take some days off here so as not to keep talking about this virus. Will talk to all when I am better. Keep well everyone. xoxo

Please don't do that no news isn't good news.

I sincerely hope that Bets and Mr. Bets start feeling much better by today. This has been a long haul. I completely agree with Figgy's comment, too--Bets, no need to stay away because you think we don't want to hear about your ongoing virus. You and Mr. Bets bring a lot of sunshine into this forum, and we're here for you in sickness and in health. (That kinda sounds like the rules of marriage, too? )

 

[MinnieM123]

Before I forget again, @ajrwdwgirl mentioned recently that catmom46 hasn't been around lately. I've also missed her posts. So I'll a tag to her as well here, and hope that all is well for her these days. Waving hi to @catmom46 .

Still free, your wallet is safe! For now

Paying $100.00 for the free delivery seems to me to not be all that free. But, that's probably just me. They semi-con'd me to joining at Christmas time. When I saw the cost, I immediately canceled. To their credit, there was no hassle at all, they just credited what they had billed my credit card.

He already has Prime so he has no increased costs for now. I never order enough from Amazon to make it worth my while. I must be getting old because I like doing business in a real store with real people better.

Yup, your getting old! Just kidding, you are obviously not alone. Myself, I hate shopping in stores. I hate the crowds and the hassle of looking everywhere for items that I can find sitting in one place in front of my computer, ordering and making one payment and then the best thing. I can continue to sit, if I want, and they deliver it directly to my door. Tell me that isn't magic.

Spoiler

Clothing is the exception. That I must see, in person. I still hate doing that, but, it's the only way I know of to get what I really want.

 

[MouseDreaming]

Feel better!!!! Phil caught something over the weekend and still has it. So far, I'm good but he was hacking all over the house so it may be just a matter of time. Plus, a woman sitting next to me on the subway today hacked and blew her nose all the way to Manhattan, so basically, I'm doomed.

Put me in the doomed club. I spend lunch hour in a room of 6th -8th graders. Even though I remind them, how many of them do you think take the time to wash their hands or at least use antibacterial on their hands before they eat?

Spoiler

Maybe 2 out of 26 kids!

Good morning @MouseDreaming are you getting snow?

 

[MouseDreaming]

Walt has a very refined palate. He even turns his nose up at some people food.

But the gel raid is in a spray pump kinda canaster or a squirt bottle similar to dish soap like Dawn. A little thicker than dish soap so it coats the foundation but it dries so there really isn't anything to eat after a few hours. I bought ours at Target.

Thanks! Maybe I will start with the front of the house, and see how that goes.

No, I won't pay that for "free shipping", either. And they still haven't gotten me! Not at Christmas, and not when I had to have an emergency skirt sent to DD at band camp last summer.

Not yet! The wind is howling, and really cold, though. Snow is to start later today. Should be great by the time I have to drive the dance car pool (can you feel the sarcasm?)

My best weather source (yes, @Gabe1 , Tom Skilling) says I am in the 6.5 to the 4.4 zone.

White or red with Ground Hog?

Red is the better choice with gamier meat It's going up to 60 here today so you can borrow my sling shot, might have to hit the sucker a few times to bring them down! What a wonderful painful way to go!

Its just a different "pass" that lets you hop from park to park anytime.
Normal regular passes only lets you enter ONCE the park of your choice, if you leave, you cant enter.
with park hopper.. you can switch and jump from any park anytime on the day.

Pretty sure that's not true....you can re-enter the SAME park as many times as you want that day. You just can't enter a DIFFERENT park. But a lot of people go back to their resorts/hotels for a nap in the afternoon, or leave the park for meals and can still get back in.

 

[Songbird76]

Right now, it is lovely! The sun is shining. It is a balmy 46 outside (a heat wave by Feb. standards.) I just took my Christmas lights down (don't judge ), and now I have to prepare for the return of Ol' Man Winter, tomorrow.

I still have my tree up...I took all the ornaments down, but I need hubby to get the box out for the tree, so it's still standing. You'll certainly get no judgment from me!

How are the unwanted visitors today? I hope they realized they are not welcome!

It's no wonder kids are sick during the school year. The odd's aren't in your favor. Be well.

They are still visiting. At least I don't have super lice. Saw those on the news this morning.
