Early in the seating process. The theater was sold out or nearly sold out.

Once the show starts, you can't take pictures, of course, I needed to get my shot early.; ৭/৯/২৪, ৮:৪৭ AM

J L Oliver বলেছেন...: My set designer brain particle here: never use mirrors onstage and especially not facing the audience.; ৭/৯/২৪, ৯:০৯ AM
RCOCEAN II বলেছেন...: And the name of the play was... the glass menagarie. I love how you can make out Althouse if you zoom in close enough.; ৭/৯/২৪, ৯:১৩ AM
Wince বলেছেন...: It's nice to know Santa and Mrs. Klaus got an evening out before the busy season.

Richard Dolan বলেছেন...: The early birds in the audience seem a bit grey around the edges. Perhaps the younger set in Madison has adopted just-in-time notions of efficiency.; ৭/৯/২৪, ১১:৩৮ AM
Kai Akker বলেছেন...: "In 1988, Claire Sylvia received the first heart-lung transplant in New England, at Yale-New Haven Hospital, from an 18-year-old man. When she emerged from the haze of the procedure, she found herself craving a beer, so much so that when a reporter asked what she wanted more than anything else, Sylvia responded, “Actually, I’m dying for a beer right now.” As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she was mortified. And surprised—she had never liked beer before.

"Sylvia’s food preferences shifted; she craved both green peppers, which she had hated before and would remove from any salad, and chicken nuggets, which she got for her first meal after leaving the hospital.

"Years later, Sylvia found her donor’s obituary in the newspaper—his name was Tim Lamirande. She eventually met Tim’s family. She asked if he liked green peppers; maybe that would explain her unusual cravings. “Are you kidding? He loved them,” Tim’s sister replied. “But what he really loved was chicken nuggets.”

Kai Akker বলেছেন...: "Many different types of personality changes have been described following organ transplantation. These include changes in preferences for food, music, art, sex, recreation, and career [8], the experience of new memories [9], feelings of euphoria, enhanced social and sexual adaptation [10], improved cognitive abilities [11], and spiritual or religious episodes [12]. These changes were generally described as neutral or positive. However, troubling changes have also been reported. As many as 30–50% percent of heart transplant recipients experience emotional or affective issues [7,13], while others experience delirium [10], depression, anxiety [14,15,16], psychosis [17], and sexual dysfunction [18]."
