A View From the Stage

If you were wondering what the view from the stage is, here I am at the Princess of Wales Theatre in Toronto a couple of weeks ago. We wrapped our five-week stay there with "12 Angry Men" and moved on through Des Moines, IA (no pictures forthcoming from there) and are now in Tempe, AZ. We open tonight at the Gammage Auditorium, which was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. I will definitely send some pictures of that.

All my best,

Mike (Bobby)

I miss Toronto already

After five weeks in the beautiful and very hip city of Toronto, our "12 Angry Men" tour has landed in Des Moines, Iowa, where it is just as cold. The city is connected by skywalks, which gives you a couple of weird sensations - that you are in a giant Habitrail, or, if you walk the streets, that you are in some sort of zombie movie. Nonetheless, we had 2,400 enthusiastic patrons at our opening last night. So there is that.

In this picture, I am outside the Princess of Wales Theatre in Toronto on our last day there. Every pillar in front of the theatre has a picture from the show. This one has the whole cast, with your favorite hot dog-loving jury foreman in front. We will be at the Bushnell in Hartford the last week of March. If anyone wants to come and see the show, check out the website: 12angrymentour.com.

Hey from Toronto

Hey Bobby Dogs people,

I wanted to congratulate everyone on "Bobby Dogs" being accepted to the Beaufort (SC) Film Festival and the Syracuse Film Festival. That is really great news.

I am up in Toronto right now, finishing up our five week stop at the Princess of Wales Theatre with the National (and now, I guess, the international) Tour of "12 Angry Men." We are playing to sold out houses and standing ovations everywhere we go. I look forward to seeing you all when we stop in Hartford in late March.

In this picture, the cast greets Patricia Neal, an Academy Award winner for "Hud," backstage in our recent stop in Cleveland. I slipped a copy of "Bobby Dogs" into her purse, but I don't know if she has seen it yet.

All my best,

Mike
