Right now, the stage door is very...not busy...b/c of the construction on the Richard Rodgers, the barricades aren't up, and usually there's just a couple of people waiting. So for that reason, it's not so obvious to the actors as they walk out that people are waiting for them, so it's important to speak up as they exit, and w/ there not being so many people there, don't just assume someone else will ask.

Rachel York will definitely sign if you ask her. She is incredibly sweet and takes time to chat if she does not have a post-performance commitment. I've even seen her pose for photographs with people. And if she does need to get somewhere quickly, she is courteous enough to say that in a very polite way. WRQ is absolutely right. If people don't ask, performers don't just assume you want their autographs. They may think you are waiting at the stage door for someone else. They'll just go home if no one appears interested!
OOOOOOOOOOOOH. That's where it's going. What are they doing to the theatre? Are they taking out the incline, cause that was my favorite part of Movin Out: the great seat incline.
Indeed lovesclassics. I was surprised to realize, though I now understand why, that in almost every show, the most difficult people to get an autograph from are members of the ensemble! It has nothing to do with not wanting to sign, they're quite happy to and usually very chatty, but they never expect that anyone is going to stop them, so they usually just run out of the theatre!

she nevers comes out the stage door. I would say good luck, but I don't think it would help.

You must remember all the same that at the crux of every game is knowing when it's time to leave the table... And it's important to be artful in your exit. No turning back, you must accept the con is done... It was a ball, it was a blast. And it's a shame it couldn't last. But every chapter has to end, you must agree. ~Dirty Rotten Scoundrels~
There's a special kind of people known as show people. We live in a world full of dreams. Sometimes we're not too certain what's false and what's real. But we're seldom in doubt about what we feel. ~Curtains~
It is a far, far better thing I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest I go to, than I have ever known. ~A Tale of Two Cities ~
She doesnt? Well then where does she leave. Not to sound like a stalker but I really want to meet her I admire her work so very much.

But she *may* only be luminous due to the swamp gas down there.
So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.~Office Space
When I went everyone signed quickly and kinda ran- no pictures- expect for Gregory Jbara who as you can see from my avatar took pictures--- with little old me.
when there was no construction, Joanna exited through the back side of the theater....behind the stage door....the crowd never spotted her. Now, she probably goes out through the 45th street side.
Yeah, when I went it was kindof hard to get them to sign as well. Sherie signed my L5Y Cd and took off before anyone else could get her. I was waiting for Joanna, but didn't know she never came out. I managed to get JP's autograph and my pic with him, but he had a friend with him who was complaining and shaking his head when people wanted to talk to him. He was muttering under his breath, but JP was patient with the few who stuck around to meet him. Aside from his angry friend, he was great.
