\u00a0<\/p>\n
I met an interesting director the other night, Phil Ramuno, at the opening of his show, Sugar Happens<\/em>. My pal who introduced us thought that perhaps we had worked together because he\u2019s directed mainly sitcoms, and even co-authored the Sitcom Career Book<\/em>. (As it turned-out, I had once read for, and won, a part on one of his sitcoms, but at the last minute, they couldn\u2019t fit the guest-starring role into their budget! That\u2019s show biz!) He recently returned from helping comedy-challenged countries, like Russia and Romania, produce sitcoms, which I find a fascinating topic, so it was fun talking to him.<\/p>\nI had also never even noticed the Sidewalk Studio Theatre before, even though I love this Toluca Lake area. (I guess it\u2019s just over the borderline into Burbank.) It was tiny, but comfortable, and the set made good use of the space, in keeping with the concept of a one-person show that\u2019s basically vignettes of a middle-aged woman (Rachel Bailit) looking back at different paths her life could have taken. And since the actress kept featuring her boobs, (I\u2019m not saying anything bad–she\u2019d be the first one to tell you about them!,) male patrons might like to sit up close. (There are actually only three rows, so you can most likely get a good view from any seat.)<\/p>\n
I have to be honest and say that the show itself wasn\u2019t my cup of tea, but also that the opening night audience did appear to be yukking it up, so it\u2019s your call on this one.<\/p>\n

Being a play about war, I thought he was supposed to be a prisoner. So, all I can tell you<\/p>\n
