Could I add something to your wish list for the theatre named after you, Ellen? In the playbill, would you get the company to include in their brief bios their educations? I would like kids, who no longer have arts (performing or otherwise) in their budget-slashed curricula, to know that not all performing arts are like Hollywood and TV careers...I could go on, but I think you'll understand.

Ellen, <BR>Excellent list, especially the increase in leg room and facilities for the ladies. <BR>Could I add one more thing?<BR><BR>Better wine and champagne at the bar:)<BR>

Wpould it be the Ellen Theatre or the Bugswife Theatre? (hoping you are the Ellen I'm thinking of)

Ellen, great idea about the phone books under the seats for us short folks. More aisle seats would be good too, or better yet the seating should be by height, like in school pictures.<BR><BR>Also reverse the signs on the men's &amp; women's bathrooms. The men never have to have to wait in line ..there must have better facilities :-)

Gothampc, Thinking that Helen Hayes was in the show, do you think that may have said 'but grandma what a deep voice you have'?

Nina66, they probably did. LOL

As long as no theaters have Trump in their name....

Yes, this is Bugswife. I probably should have taken the time to put my author name as that, but I registered very quickly. Was anxious to get in under the 300 people cut off and get my free gift : - ) I got the packing book by the way.

Okay, I just registered as Bugswife for those of you whom I have already confused. It takes 3 days to confirm? What's that about. Anyway, beginning Monday I will be using the new name. Back to the thread....yes, improved wine and champagne. I like that. Also, no more Dots. Those are so 80's. Balance Bars and Dove Chocolate, just to cover both ends of the spectrum.

Today I bought Playbill - At This Theater, 100 Years Of Broadway Shows, Stories and Stars, by Louis Botto. Looks great, now all I have to do is find/make the time to read it.<BR><BR>Keep going with the thought 'if you could build a theater', who knows, maybe the powers that be are Fodorites.
