OK, this is pretty hilarious: Vital ordered 2 boxes of The Golden Dreydl from Charlesbridge Publishing to sell at the play (The Klezmer Nutcracker is based on the book - which is based on the CD, which is . . . long story). Boxes came. Unfortunately, nobody opened them before we began setting up the first performance, yesterday - so all were suprised to see that we were in possession of 2 boxes of The Golden Bull. Our creative team immediately started thinking of ways we could alter the show to fit the Bull in hand - have Queen of Sheba ride in on Bull instead of camel? Have Chanukah party be a lasso contest instead? (What's yours?)

In the end, we found 2 copies in the office, and Delia sweetly & heroically brought 7 from home, arriving by the end of the the 11:00 show, so we had a nice little pile to sell by the time show #1 ended at noon, and for the 1:00 show, too.

I'd better run down to the basement now and bring up some more for today's shows!

Good thing you found the extra copies--I'd hate you to have been struck with plagues for substituting in a golden bovine! ;-)
