It was a great night. Can’t wait to see Richard in Christmas Carol.

So good to see CBT still flourishing after 35 years.

While a student at UT in the 70s, I was there when the theatre opened with “Look Homeward Angel”

I worked box office and stage managed many a show at CBT…and, knew the talented Dale Dickey when she was but 10 years old!

She was a charmer then and now.

Here’s to 35 more, CBT!

Yes, we are all looking forward to rooting for Richard the Lionhearted. Those walk-on parts are fun to do; I’ve done several at Knoxville Opera over the years. So, if he wants to contact me, I’m volunteering to give Richard the benefit of my experience with some pointers on “how to be a great walk-on.” (The most important one is not to fall over.) Break a leg!!

I didn’t go to the gala but I went to the play Friday night and it was wonderful. Looks like I’m going to have to be sure and go to A Christmas Carol to see Richard.

Shafer Morgan???? I think Richard Ford is a pretty good name!

This was one of the best galas we’ve attended for a while. Lots of fun. Obviously too much as I temporarily lost my mind during the bidding! Richard has now decided he needs a stage name and he likes the sound of Shafer Morgan.

I’m still jealous Richard outbid me for the walk-on part in A Christmas Carol. And it should be duly noted, too, that I am his official understudy. Does that mean I get to go to rehearsals? Or better yet maybe they’ll create TWO walk-on roles. I’m obviously eager to feed my inner actress. Great event. Thank you and thinking about my next costume for my new mask. Don’t know if I can wait til Halloween!

What a great night! Missy Dickey commented on how honored Dale was to receive the recognition and said, “This is all she has ever wanted to do. I just can’t figure out where she got her talent!” Don’t know about your acting ability, Missy, but we all know where she got her charm and grace!
And Mox, get that Darin’ Erin woman off my boyfriend!!
