Mother's Day/Strike

Remember, this Sunday is scheduled for Strike.  Strike is an all-call for actors, crew, management, and is a no-conflict, must-attend date from 12pm-5pm.

That said, we are being flexible WITH ADVANCED NOTIFICATION as to the start and end times of the Strike call up to one total hour.  If you're going to be with family for Mother's Day for Brunch, you have until 100pm to arrive for Strike; if you're going to Dinner, then you may leave as early as 400pm...again WITH ADVANCED NOTIFICATION.  We have a number of plans in play for the Strike which are contingent on the number of people we have at which times, hence the need for ADVANCED NOTIFICATION!  Any failure to provide ADVANCED NOTIFICATION combined with missing the call will result in ineligibility for (SW)2 projects and events until double the time missed has been made up.  (Sorry for the ALL CAPS...just wanted to be clear on the expectations :-)

We do have a lot to do on Sunday, but we want to be respectful of your family's needs and commitments.  We hope you have a wonderful time with those amazing Mom-types who make what we do possible!

Here's to a strong closing weekend!

M- p.34 When Mother left the house with Uncle Elwood I went over to the real estate office to put the house on the market.

M- p.34 Well, I found a man there who was looking for an old hose just like this to cut up into buffet apartments.

G- p.35 Why did she call me at the club when I was in the middle of a game, and scream at me to meet her here about something important?

G- p.35 Oh, not since he started running around with this big rabbit. But they did once. Once that mailbox was full of those little blue envelopes for Elwood.

G- p.35 Take your average man looking up and seeing a big white rabbit.

M- p.36 Take hold of her, Judge. She looks like she’s going to faint.

V- p.36 Leave me alone. Let me sit here. Let me catch my breath.

V- p.36 Let me sit here a minute and then let me get upstairs to my own bed where I can let go.

G- p.37 Then how could it happen to you? I don’t understand it.

V- p.37 I always said if a man jumped at me-- I’d fight.

V- p.38 You better get the authorities to clean it up.

G- p.38 Now let me take some notes on this. You said-- these doctors came up talk to you-- Dr. Chumley and-- what was the other doctor’s name?

V- p.38 Sanderson-- But Judge, don’t you pay any attention to anything he tells you. He’s liar.

V- p.38 I don’t even want to talk about it. You can’t trust anybody.

V- p.38 I know which is which. I don’t want to talk about it. I want to sue them and I want to get into my bed.

M- p.39 Listen, Mother, we’ve got to find Uncle Elwood-- no matter who jumped at you we’ve still got to lock up Uncle Elwood.

V- p.39 Wait until Elwood hears what they did to me. He won’t stand for it.

G- p.39 The thing for me to do is take some more notes.

M- p.39 It’s all Uncle Elwood’s fault. He found out what she was up to-- and he had her put in, Then he ran.

M- p.39 And, besides-- you’d better save some of that sympathy for me and Mother-- you don’t realize what we have to put up with.

M- p.40 Wait til I show you, Judge.

C- p.40 I have stopped by here to ask Mrs. Simmons if she has any other suggestions as to where we might look for him.

C- p.41 What happened this afternoon was an unfortunate mistake.

M- p.41 You try to get Mother to talk to him, Judge.

M- p.42 Oh, I don’t really know-- I--

M- p.42 Certainly. If you’ll forgive me I’ll precede you into the kitchen.

E- p.43 Hello, Chumley’s Rest? Is Doctor Chumley there?

V- p.43 Doctor,you might as well go home and wait.

V- p.43 Yes-- all right.

C- p.43 This picture over your mantel.

V- p.43 That portrait happens to be the pride of this house.

V- p.43 Oh, some man. I forget his name. He was around here for the sittings.

C- p.43 I suppose if you have the money to pay people, you can persuade them to do anything.

V- p.44 You brought this up; you may as well learn something quick.

C- p.44 Steady now-- steady-- don’t get excited. Everything’s all right. Now-- what’s the matter?

C- p.44 Better be quiet. I’ll take it.

C- p.44 Tell him. That will bring him here, perhaps. Humor him. We have to humor them.

V- p.44 Yes-- Elwood. Yes, dear. Harvey is here. Why don’t you come home?

V- p.45 Harvey just walked in the door! He told me to look in the bath-tub--

C- p.45 I’m going over there to get your brother and take him out to the sanitarium where he belongs.

V- p.45 I won’t tell you why, but if I didn’t, why would I be asking for a permanent commitment for him?

C- p.45 Then I must observe this man. I must watch the expression on his face as he talks to this rabbit.

C- p.46 Not at all. Don’t worry now. I can handle him!

K- p.46 Not yet. I just talked to the downtown dispensary.

S- p.47 I’ve no resentment against Dr. Chumley.

S- p.47 Yes--

K- p.47 Well, doctor-- I’d like to say I wish you a lot of luck, and I’m sorry to see you leave.

S- p.47 Are you sure you can spare these good wishes, Miss Kelly?

S- p.47 Miss Kelly--

K- p.47 I beg your pardon, Doctor?

S- p.47 I’d be careful of him, Kelly. He looked like a schizophrenic all the way across the floor.

S- p.48 Not that it makes any difference to you, but that girl is a charming little lady.

S- p.48 Oh-- if I could try something else on you-- just once!

K- p.48 If you aren’t the meanest person-- inflated ego-- case history!

S- p.48 Don’t run away. Let’s finish it.

K- p.48 For me-- oh, thank you!

K- p.49 I’ve never worn burnt orange.

K- p.49 Thank you. Did Dr. Chumley go over to his house?

E- p.49 I have a cab outside, if it’s possible for you and Miss Kelly to get away now.

K- p.49 I don’t know, Doctor.

E- p.49 I must apologize for being a few seconds late.

S- p.49 Just a moment, Dowd--

E- p.49 That’s very nice of him. I would like to help him too.

E- p.50 As I said, he did not confide his plans in me.

S- p.50 Mr. Dowd, Dr. Chumley went into town to pick you up. That was four hours ago.

S- p.51 Dr. Chumley did come into Charlie’s Place, did you say?

E- p.51 He had asked for me, and naturally the proprietor brought him over and left him.

W- p.51 Okay-- okay--

E- p.51 If those were his plans for the evening he did not tell me.

E- p.51 Dr. Chumley sat down in the booth with us.

E- p.51 Harvey then suggested that I buy him a drink.

E- p.52 Dr. Chumley and Harvey got into a conversation-- quietly at first.

E- p.52 Harvey seemed to feel that Dr. Chumley should assume part of the financial…

E- p.52 I agreed to take the whole thing because I did not want any trouble.

E- p.52 Mr. Wilson, you are sincere type of person, but I must ask you not to use that language…

E- p.52 There was a beautiful blonde woman-- a Mrs. Smethills--

K- p.52 Please hurry, Mr. Dowd-- we’re all so worried.

E- Dr. Chumley then urged Harvey to go with him to Blondie’s Chicken Inn.

E- p.53 I don’t know-- I had a date out here with Dr. Sanderson and Miss Kelly…

K- p.53 Maybe Dr. Chumley did go to Charlie’s Place.

E- p.53 And why not? Harvey was there. At first the Doctor seemed a little frightened of Harvey but that gave way to admiration as the evening wore on--

E- p.53 Stimulating as all this is, I really must be getting downtown.

E- p.54 Yes, my dear-- may I hold you hand?

K- p.54 Yes-- if you want to. Poor Mrs. Chumley is so worried.

E- p.54 For you I would do anything.

E- p.54 Quite sure-- but ask me again, anyway, won’t you?

E- p.54 Oh! I must be going. I have things to do.

E- p.54 Harvey and I sit in the bars and we have a drink or two and play the juke-box.

E- p.54 That was a rather interesting coincidence, Doctor.

E- p.55 I had just helped Ed Hickey into a taxi.

S- p.55 Dowd, when you were a child you had a play mate, didn’t you?

S- p.55 Think carefully, Dowd. Wasn’t there someone, somewhere, some time, whom you knew-- by the name of Harvey?

E- p.55 No, Doctor. No one.

E- p.56 Very well, Lyman. But I’m afraid I won’t be able to visit with you for long.

Minor Schedule Revisions

Attn: All Cast/Crew/Mgmt/Tech -

The calendar downloadable from the right contains a few small revisions to make you aware of...all of which actually allow you a bit more free time outside of Harvey stuff:
-Tech calls are listed
-There are now fewer full runs of the show
-Crew is now called for fewer dates

Please look it over thoroughly.  Please communicate with Mr. Metz or me if there are any questions!
