Dear Elizabeth,

I hope your Opera Night went better than my experience with a CD
performance. I was in "Into the Woods" as Jack's Mother and Cinderella's
(not step) mother. The producers had made a budget decision: use a CD of
electronic orchestra instead of a real orchestra or even live piano. One
night the CD player was sitting on the edge of the stage, and our dancing
somehow made the CD jump back and forth from number to number. The cast was
so good that we just went on, even though panicking inside. The poor fellow
running the music was frantic, but we just continued. The audience was
relatively clueless.

Whew! Live music with a live conductor can be so forgiving!

Jocelyn
