There was nothing for children and other non-drinkers to drink! Somebody had to go to the store to get some sodas!<br /><br />Sounds as if your dad dealt with it with grace and courage!Ronnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02062796442588373271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15417436.post-47314734554116701992010-11-23T13:20:56.625-06:002010-11-23T13:20:56.625-06:00That's just not cool.

There was a scene where he was supposed to down a whole bowl of water, and they replaced the water with vodka. Fortunately, "Forum" is a comedy, so as soon as the liquid touched his lips my dad took in a whole mouthful, spat it toward the audience and let the rest of the bowl drain down the front of his shirt. He really was not amused, though.Stellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16547552654107019188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15417436.post-55264026336968278472010-11-22T08:56:52.068-06:002010-11-22T08:56:52.068-06:00Hi, Kyle...and, as another board member was the on...Hi, Kyle...and, as another board member was the one IN THE SHOW, who got drunk during the performance, it's probably all OK with them.<br /><br />Still, Artistic Directors have been canned before, for egregious misconduct.<br /><br />Perhaps if word were to get to whoever funds the enterprise...Ronnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02062796442588373271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15417436.post-23997497031124364222010-11-22T08:51:34.815-06:002010-11-22T08:51:34.815-06:00Didn't see the show, but I would heartily agre...Didn't see the show, but I would heartily agree. When I do theatre, I'm there to do theatre, not horse around, or run risks of ruining a performance.<br /><br />I followed the Arts Project of Austin link you provided, and Gary seems to be the Artistic Director and a board member. So I would suspect he is unlikely to can himself.Kyle E.noreply@blogger.com
