Billi Pod Has A Doubleheader Today

Tuesday==>Your favorite blogger here in The Big Apple, The Greatest City In The World, has a doubleheader today, with an early start ... so ... let’s get this posting started with Billi Pod's report card on last night’s Off Broadway show ...

WAITING FOR WAITING FOR GODOT, about two understudies who occupy their time backstage trying to understand art, life, and their absurd existence==>A

It was very funny, extremely well-acted and also thought-provoking. The mostly full house was totally into the show, especially some of the “insider” acting references and the recurring theme that no one honestly knows what “Waiting for Godot” is really about.

As I posted yesterday, this performance was part of the NYC Fringe Festival Encore Series and last night was its final performance. I hope it can find a producer because the show is really good theater.

Now ... about today’s entertainment doubleheader ...

11:30==>A PROPER PLACE - “A musical about an upper class British family that gets shipwrecked on an island. With only their butler to help them survive, traditional class systems are questioned and unexpected love blossoms." (Off Broadway - free ticket)

I am seeing this staged reading as a guest of my friend Scott Wojcik, who is co-owner of Wojcik/Seay Casting, the casting agency for the show.

Then for the evening is a very interesting event ...

7:30==>NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC @ Avery Fisher Hall - “The Art of The Score: For Hitchcock.” Scenes from the classic movies will be shown on a large screen as the orchestra plays the score live. (Concert - discounted ticket)

There will be scenes from “Vertigo,” “North by Northwest,” “Dial M for Murder,” “Strangers on a Train,” and “To Catch a Thief.” The program will be hosted by Alec Baldwin.

This is a special program. The regular season series doesn’t start until September 25th.

Now ... on the sport’s scene ... you are welcome Marty ...

Tonight at 7:05pm The Yankees play the first game of a crucial 3-game series against The Blue Jays up in Toronto.

On the mound for The Yankees will be Andy Pettitte (10-9) vs. R.A. Dickey (12-12) for The Jays.

Only 12 games remain in the regular season.

OK ... time to post this and then get ready to start my interesting doubleheader.

Yesterday’s Pedometer mileage==>1.84 miles (or, 4.034 steps)

Total mileage since 7/1/13==>285.99 miles (average 3.67 miles per day)

GO YANKEES!! GO GATORS!!
