Are you all going back to New York? Or somewhere else this time? I think I remember someone posting that Doubt was going on the road. Will Ron still be in the cast in August? Sorry, but . . . doesn't this belong in the Doubt thread? And now I know how to do it--so here it is! Thanks Maggie for letting me know!.

The only reason I mentioned it in the other thread was because someone suggested the next person to see Doubt ask Ron about who owns the rights to the show.
To answer your question inuvik, yes I'm going back to NY to see the play. I'm staying longer though so I should actually have time to do some sightseeing too.

Do you know if he will still be appearing on Broadway? I can always hope he will go to LA with the tour! He did perform Bash in LA.

I know that when Dogma called, she was told he would still be in NY in Aug. As far as I know, only Cherry Jones has been confirmed for the tour. The rest of the cast is TBA.

Friday night was a rainy and windy New York evening - thankfully though, this time it was warm! I also observed a very different play than that first week. The cast had grown so comfortable in their roles, and there was a natural flow that wasn't there earlier in the run. I found Jena the most surprising as she was the one piece of the play I was dreading because of her diction - the accent hadn't changed much, tweaked some but the tonal quality of her voice was much easier on the ear. Although I really did enjoy the understudy who portrayed Sister Aloysius on our first visit, there is no doubt that the Dame brings such an added dimension to the conflict with Father Flynn, her portrayal is, if possible, more subtle yet there is no questioning the level of her belief in her own convictions. I must admit, though, that she did nothing to change my mind as to his guilt or innocence. Ron impressed me more this time with the new aspects he has brought to his performance, the simple added gestures, the ease with which he switches back and forth from Irish brogue, the swing of the hips and how he draws you in to the locker room scene as though you are one of his boys, sitting at his feet, concentrating on how to become that star basketball player. His portrayal is brilliant, his anger that much more intense. His pain was so real and I wondered how far down he had to dig to find that depth of emotion every night. Without question, though, as much as I will treasure having had the chance to see Doubt again, I am so humbled by the meeting with Ron after the show and the time he spent with us. He truly is one of the kindest, most gentle human beings I have ever had the pleasure to meet. To my dear friend, Barbara, thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing this remarkable weekend with me, for your incredible New York hospitality, for allowing me the opportunity to stroll the old haunts of Ridgewood and really see "da hood" and always for the laughter! This was an unforgettable weekend that I will treasure forever!

I had truly the best time with you, Lori - I couldn't think of anyone better to spend this with; we had such a BLAST this weekend. As for my old haunts in Ridgewood, my pleasure - though, why you wanted to be there, is beyond me - clearly, I got out for a reason! But, hey, whatever floats your boat or churns your homemade mayo. As I showed you, da hood is da hood - THROW a hood on it, for God's sake!! Actually, I am proud of my roots and I'm so glad you shared it with me. I will never forget this weekend, and we'd BETTER do it soon!!! Love ya, "a girl from the hood"

Oh Lori, you look "mahvalous" and so happy. And who can blame you considering who has his arm around you. And what pray tell is that in your hand, Not the Playbill? By the way, Ron does not look 'slouchy" either. Wowza.

Lori - thanks for sharing with us your Doubt experience. I am so happy that things went so well for you. Your picture is just perfect! You both looks just mahvelous! It was very interesting to hear about the "lost" episodes. I hope that they are "found" soon and included in a set of DVD's! Now if we could only find out what ever happened to Diggers.....

By the way, Ron does not look 'slouchy" either. Wowza. No, I decided since I had an autographed Playbill, I would take one of the critic's choice DVD copies I have in my possession - thanks to a certain Hollywood production company - a story unto itself - so I selected the Pilot. As we finished our conversation about Blind Justice, I said, "Speaking of which," and reached in my purse to pull it out and hand it to him. He looked at it and asked, "Is that the pilot?" (It says "Pilot" in white letters on the DVD cover!) I said yes, explained it's history and he mentioned that he had a lot of stuff from Bochco, but he didn't have that! He signed the DVD itself because he was afraid "if he signed the case, it might smudge." (The DVD case is wrapped in a clear plastic sleeve.) When he handed it back to me, I started to close the case and he said, "No, don't close it. You might want to let it dry a bit first just in case it smears!" I did...wait that is... and it is now signed simply, Peace. Ron Eldard.

Now if we could only find out what ever happened to Diggers..... Been wondering that myself. Haven't heard about it for a long time. Took a quick look on the net and all I can find is a date of either 2006 or TBA 2006 I think. Modified to add: Lori, I love the picture, your conversation, and the extra info! So glad you had another wonderful experience.
