Localized Fame

I'm on the wall at the local Appleby's.

You know how they have stuff all over the walls? And how they make a point of supporting local events/organizations/things? Well, Idaho Repertory Theatre is one of those things. And I realized, as I was staring at the wall across the room, that a couple of photographs looked familiar. I reported my suspicions to Dave, who "went to the bathroom" and just happened to check on the way. Several photographs from the summer I worked at IRT are on the wall. A great shot of myself and John from You Can't Take It With You. A lovely shot of Heather and Rachel from The Rivals.

(You can see the photo in question here. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the page. It's the last picture in the far left column.)

The Rivals photograph, by the way, was what made me realize I could be on the wall. I know of only one recent local theatrical event that involved all white costumes and a fountain shaped like an elephant. I'm kind of sorry it was a picture of me as Penny from You Can't and not me as Mrs. Malaprop from The Rivals. Because even though I was much prettier as Penny, the Malaprop outfit was probably my favorite costume ever.

And all I could think when I realized pictures of us were up there on the wall was, "Thank goodness they didn't put us in that booth." Because wouldn't that have been affected. To be sitting directly under my own photograph?

Yeah.

That is such a great picture from YCTIWY! You guys look so cute and silly. What picture from the Rivals is it? I am trying to remember what picture they took of me and Rachel, unless it is the one where we are watching the near duel or something? Now I am going to be thinking this over all day.

Yeah. It's the one where you're sitting on the bench watching the "duel."

I totally see it in my head now. Thank you. It was niggling around in my brain all day at work, mostly because work was boring.
