I never really saw the parallels until now. As an avid baller, maybe I should add theater hoppin to my to-do list. Good stuff. Basketball and theater, eh? I never really saw the parallels until now.

My favorite characters were Jonathan Guillermo and Joel Parcon. Both were really good... It's a pity that Mr. Parcon won't be acting in any future plays! He is so talented!

The construction of the play itself parallels Henry Higgins' construction of the new Eliza. :) Hi Ruth, actually, most of the things you mentioned were intentional (except for the mosquitoes, sorry about that). :) The audience was meant to see the actors’ *staged* “rehearsing”, signs which were eventually replaced with the actual props in the later scenes, unfinished sketches, set pieces covered with plain cloth that were eventually removed to reveal color, etc..
