Show Notes

This episode begins with a limerick written and read by Chris Booth, in honor of our pal Steve Kelly:

Just a few, and Steve’s eyes ‘gan to wander;

Then day next he was mute and a-ponder:

When he saw where he woke,

In sad tones, thus he spoke:

“It’s Absinthe makes the heart to grow fonder.”

Tonight, Saturday, and Sunday are the last days in Orlando to see Charlie Bethel’s awesome performance of The Odyssey.

Saturday (March 16th) is also the last day to see this season’s superb Othello at Orlando Shakespeare Theatre.
