A long time ago in a theater far, far away, I directed a comedy. Ok, so it was 2015 and in the same County but that was all before we had plague and “meta” wasn’t a real word, and windmills weren’t killing whales. Where was I? Oh yes, the play. It was one of the first shows I got to direct solo. Obviously, they aren’t making that mistake again. You know you’ve been doing this for awhile when the name of the show you’re directing again has had its name changed more than once. In any event, this is a very funny show, and I direct it only so I can hear my favorite quote. Not that I’d have it tattooed on me, that’s serious dedication. Thanks to Kyle, who hopefully I have not ruined as a director; and to my wife Mandi who helped me keep this on the rails and still stay married to me.

Alright, we’re going to be honest with you, we have no idea where this … creature came from. One day we were rehearsing for Do Black Patent Leather Shoes Really Reflect Up?, and Kyle Curry just appeared. Organizing props, helping in set building, and stage managing in Tiny Tim’s Christmas Carol as well, he just hasn’t left. Now, he’s assistant directing the show you’re currently reading about in this Play Bill: The Complete Works of William Shakespeare Abridged. Having no background experience in theater other than with Little Theatre of Mechanicsburg, Kyle is excited to be a part of his third show with LTM – at least that’s what the smile tells us … he might just be hungry…. It has been a while since we last saw him eat. He also just disappeared, and we hear him in the walls. He didn’t accept this night’s Sheetz offering. It’s like he’s a vague, sinister presence waiting in the wings. Mark Myers, please come get your fiancé. He keeps saying he loves you very much and is so grateful that you, his: family; pets; and friends are in his life and he wouldn’t trade it away. He also keeps making the shows he’s in way too awesome.
