What a treat! Great acting and all around great show. Don't miss this one!! And all four actors were really nice at the stage door. Get a window card and have them sign it.....you'll be proud of yourself!

Proud? Of what?

Yourself! Of course, makes sense. For all the hard work you put into it.

It's gay pride month so you should feel that after you see that play!
It's a little creepy but it would be worse if you knew what you were talking about.

Ooooh, I should bring an I-beam to the stage door and have them sign that...
Words don't deserve that kind of malarkey. They're innocent, neutral, precise, standing for this, describing that, meaning the other, so if you look after them you can build bridges across incomprehension and chaos. But when they get their corners knocked off, they're no good anymore…I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little.

I'm proud of myself for not giving a s**t whether I get a Playbill autographed.

I don't think you understand the meaning of PROUD


proud
adjective, proud·er, proud·est.
1. feeling pleasure or satisfaction over something regarded as highly honorable or creditable to oneself (often followed by of, an infinitive, or a clause).

2. having, proceeding from, or showing a high opinion of one's own dignity, importance, or superiority.

3. having or showing self-respect or self-esteem.

4. highly gratifying to the feelings or self-esteem: It was a proud day for him when his son entered college.

5. highly honorable or creditable: a proud achievement.

Buying a ticket and sitting through a play is hardly an achievement. Nor is standing in line to get people to sign a piece of paper.

I'm not saying the play is worth seeing, I'm sure it may be....but it certainly won't instill any sort of pride in me by watching. Joy, maybe. Contentment, maybe.

Good grief! All I am trying to say is that it is a really good play and all four of the cast members are really nice people off stage.

Tyne Daly was very good. I agree. And a difficult task it was, given that the play itself is unbelievably tedious. Bobby Steggert also did a fine job. Fred Weller, who I think is a wonderful actor, was miscast and seemed very, very uncomfortable throughout. Listening to and watching that child of theirs, whoever he is, was painful.

That horrible child was in the bathtub for an hour. He would've either drowned or been approved. A terribly written and annoying character.
