I was in the Post Office a little earlier today to get stamps and get some bills mailed. While I was sticking the stamps an older gentleman (who I don’t know from Adam) came over and started talking to me about “Sweeney Todd.” He asked if attendance had been better, and I said it had pick up since the first weekend. He then proceeded to tell me about how he had no idea why we picked “Sweeney Todd.” I was informed that he thought the show was “abysmal” … that was the word he used … and that all the folks sitting around him hated it as well. He then launched into how he and his wife went to Flat Rock Playhouse all the time and that we should be more like them. I guess that means we should perform the same ole tried and true shows that every other group in the area does. I can’t even count the number of time crap like the “The 1940’s Radio Hour” has been done in WNC. Geez. He proceeded to tell me that I shouldn’t take it personally. Fucker.
