"I Am My Ideal" -Miles Glorious

Sorry it has been a while since we have up dated this. Let’s see if we can get you caught up.

In August, before we moved back to Charlottesville, Lake began commuting down from DC to start attending rehearsals for “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.” There was an allusion or two to it in the last posting (see if you can find it!).

Rehearsals were held for eight weeks before opening for a 3-week, 10-show run.

Lake was cast as the pompous and vain Roman Captain, Miles Glorious. Some might say he was type-cast; Lake responds by citing his incredible good looks can sometimes be a curse. Sigh.

Two awards were won by the supporting cast. First, the “Most Performances Attended by a Spouse” award went to Elysa M. Dishman, who, of the ten performances (plus a preview night) saw seven of them. For opening night’s curtain call, she held up a bright neon yellow sign that read, “I ♥ Miles.” The second award went to Paul and Beth Lynn Dishman of Provo, Utah, winning the “Most Distance Traveled to See a Performance” Award. Actually, the Dishmans tied with themselves as they saw two shows.
