Sunday I went to the Scottish Rite Theater to see “The Comedy of Errors,” which is always such fun. This time it was directed by reunion alum Susan Todd and one of the Dromio’s was played by Kathy Blackbird who was a real hoot. I just love to see those Dromios receiving a few licks. . I know I loved beating Mary Collins in 1978, when she was my Dromio.. There were several other Winedale alums in the show as well. Zaniness ensued. There was a mini reunion in the audience. Hurwitz, Lynn, Joy, Mike Mergan, Doc, and Joann were all in attendance as was Jonathan and Whitney Ayres. It was good to see them all . Thankfully, Lynn sat between Joy and I so Joy’s harassment of me was kept to a minimum. The theater itself is worth seeing as well which was built in 1871 and if I am not mistaken, some of the fly/ sets used in CE were original. It looked great. The show runs for a while longer so if you are in Austin, and looking for an escape from the ACL hoards, go support some local theater, and of course our friends as well.
