Opening night of Volpone went smoothly, and the audience loved it. The second performance, Sunday matinee, had some odd moments. One of them involved my forgetting the text, replacing it with what I call “phonated mumbling.” There were other unexpected rough moments, regardless, the audience loved it, and didn’t notice of those unexpected things. Two more performances this weekend.

Today started with my waking up at after NOON.  Got a call from one of my cast members, and we went to another cast member’s place that has a pool.  There were a total of six (6) people at the pool (swimming, not billiard), and a dog.  After that, just passed by the abode, and went directly to the house of WTOC Director Kim Witman for a BBQ-Birthday Party.  The “Harmonists” from our Berlin concert sang a revised-lyric rendition of one of their songs from the concert, and I, with two other cast members from Volpone, sang a revised-lyric rendition of “Congratulations!” from the opera, both songs in honor of Kim’s Birthday.  That’s it.
