Cooper: Diane, last night I dreamed I was eating a large, tasteless gumdrop, and awoke to discover I was chewing on one of my foam disposable earplugs. Perhaps I should consider moderating my nighttime coffee consumption.

A Leading Woman

Did I mention I got cast in another show somehow?  It'll be my 35th.  "A Leading Woman" is being done by Waukegan Community Players and it opens in only two weeks.  It's the world premier of "the happy true story of how a band of struggling actors stood up to the mighty Broadway producers in the summer of 1919."  George Gershwin, George M. Cohan and the founder of Variety are all in the show.  I play Benjamin Brookings, a "young" director excited about the new theater of Chekhov and Ibsen .It's not a musical, but there are a couple songs, including one with a solo for me.

Admission is 12 bucks (sorry, no credit cards).  Shows are at the Dr. Lynn Schornick Theater in the Jack Benny Center in Bowen Park at the north end of Waukegan:  39 Jack Benny Dr., Waukegan, IL.

Shows are May 7, 8, 14, and 15th at 8:00 pm; May 9th at 3:00 pm.

  1. You should do something to celebrate your 35th show, that's quite an accomplishment!
