Original and Pre-Plastic Surgery Destiny's Child, Playwrights Rep

Good morning,

First off, I apologize for the brief hiatus. Finals week during Summer Session is no joke.

Second, I would like to congratulate the Brown/Trinity Playwrights Rep for their fantastic performances. In case you missed it, their three shows were:

Dogs of the Blue Gods by Ian Fraser and directed by Christopher Windom
Life Science by Anna Ziegler and directed by Michael Perlman
Chicken Grease is Nasty Business! by Michael Miller and directed by Lowry Marshall

If you did not see these shows, you missed out. The genres ranged widely with very different catharses for each show. However each of these shows may have had you leave the theatre crying, for different reasons of course. Dogs of the Blue Gods may have had you crying for the traditional reason: sadness. Life Science may have had you crying for more of a "chick flick" reason: romance. Chicken Grease is Nasty Business! may have had you crying for the greatest reason: laughter. The actors were all phenomenal and included an undergraduate and recent graduates from Brown and Brown/Trinity Rep Consortium MFA students and graduates. New fresh theatre is always refreshing to see.

In other news, the 1997 audition tape of the original Destiny's Child - sans plastic surgery and all - has surfaced. What is particularly surprising about the video is that aside from the usual Beyonce lead and Kelly backup verse, there is a verse/bridge sung by LaTavia Robinson. LaToya Luckett does not have a solo.




Interesting how the times can change so many things.

thank you and goodnight.
