6/2 - The closing show of Tiny & Les - perfect call for the ending which started to reek during a techno-dance version of Kick the Donkey, and instead was saved by performing "another catchy number" from the Broadway period revival of Space "The Final Frontier" Heywold's greatest hits.
6/4 - Episode 4 (or 3, if you're not counting Preview nights) - with Thorne returning (Brian Lohmann) we had a number of hilarious prop failures to work with. Francisco's cross immediately broke during the introduction. Thorne pointed out that his re-emergence coincided with many unusual occurences within Dark Gables, including the inexplicable fracturing of several crucifixes. Thorne produced mystical Starbucks tea from backstage, which turned into Leticia's (Sue Peahl) bottle of wine. Then Francisco produced a different jug of wine to refill Lester's tea cup, and was chastised twice for attempting to pour without actually unscrewing the cap, or actually pouring the liquid into the cup. Proves you can't get away from the obvious in Improv.
