Yay for Amber!!!!



Not so yay for me, though. I have rehearsal Monday night, and we're getting close enough to our performance date that I really can't skip out. I hope the people who go take really good notes. And a pic or two wouldn't hurt.

this is wonderful!



and looks like some of her friends (who helped her out with Chance) are also in this play!



I hope some folks will attend and give us a report!!!

[Dumbsaint]

That's really great news. I'm happy for Amber. Having your play staged and read sounds pretty exciting.

Very awesome for Amber. Slightly bummy though, I'd love to see it. *le sigh* oh well....kudos to her!

We don't need their shallow popularity; we'll build our palaces in the dark and beautiful places they forgot to look.

So I read this subject line and thought immediately... "OMG!! Amber's got a play on in the Albert Hall. Cool! So she's coming to London after all." And then I thought, "Woo hoo, I might actually be able to see it, I can get to London, easy!"



Then, of course, I read the entire message and I feel really stupid now.



But well done to Amber anyway. She certainly deserves it.



Whoever goes to see it must bring back a lengthy report, and plenty of pics!

Oh miss, what a thing to do!

[Rane018]

lol. i was thinking the same thing: london... sigh. i directed a play a while back and let me just say i dont think i could ever go through that again. but good for her. kittens that go have a great time!!!

That's terrific! I hope a bunch of you guys get to go and give full reports.

It's nice to see her working with Christine Estabrook and Jeff Ricketts again, who played her mom and dad in Chance. (Btw,Christine was in Crossing Jordan this week for those of you who watched. She played the daughter who knew her mother was murdered by her father).

I am so envious (in a nice way) of you west coast kittens. More Amberage.

I will be in Florida still, but I hope my fellow kittens get the chance to go. Go Amber! Hopefully the play will be produced elsewhere too.

[VampNo12]

Thanks relativegirl for the info! Yay for Amber for having her play staged, and I am so excited for the kittens who are able to attend the play ! I can't wait to hear the reports, I only wish I lived in CA so I go see it myself.

[maudmac]

This is great. This is Amber doing what Amber wants. Amber in creative control. I'm really happy for her that she's got the opportunity to do things like this now because this is exactly what she wants to be doing. I hope it's a success and that she'll continue to have opportunities to bring herself closer to the fulfillment of her dreams. Amber in the driver's seat...how cool is that?



I'm surprised to see that Natalie Zea is in the cast. She just left Passions (shut up, I love Passions ) to do "other things." I'm pleased this is one of those "other things." (Which doesn't mean I don't hate Liz Huber as Gwen...because I do.)



I'd say that "other things" thing is working out pretty well for a few people.

Kudos to Amber. That's great news.

[Chewster]

This is wonderful, I am so pleased that Amber continues to maintain her profile and not just with appearances. This is something that can only add to her credits as something other than an actress and though I love to see her on screen we know that is where her ambitions lie.



Waiting for the detailed reports now! PLOT especially.

I am so happy for Amber and in awe of her multitalented self. Way to keep busy. Can't wait to hear reports!

Wow, that was so close to being empowering. --"Same Time, Same Place"

[helpful information perha]

[hellcat]

My girlfriend and I will be attending. I reserved my tickets today. Looking forward to seeing the reading and hopefully some familiar kitten faces!

[urnofosiris]

Oh that's wonderful. I am very curious to hear what the play is like.

[Mrs Vertigo]

So, err, what's Albert Hall about, actually?

[helpful information perha]

just took a look at the website for the theatre company doing ambers play and it looks like they've added a second reading!



ambers play will be on stage Nov 25th and Nov 26th !



guess they must have had a lot of ticket requests! way to go amber!

[BBOvenGuy]

Gee, anyone who went to the second show would have to miss Buffy. What a shame...



That might actually work for me. I'm not sure, though - anyone else interested?

[helpful information perha]

Well here is wishing Amber a most successful play

Amber's play sure was interesting, but I think I'll hold and wait for a full review till tomorrow when everyone has seen it

Sigh, Amber.

Xita, soon you are going to have Amber permenantly attached to you.



Looks like you had fun!

WILLOW: Plus, I'd visit you at work every single day.

Oh Xita you lucky girl, I'm not jealous at all, nope ! Awwww such a lovely pic , and I can't for tomorrow to hear about the play/etc!



And it seems to me that Amber is as fond of that Florida shirt, as she seems to be of her "famous" coat !

[Jimmi Magnus]

Wow, Ambers hair sure got red!



Nice pic Xita
