Lost Lake matinee today

Posted by:	bss 05:57 pm EST 11/19/14

What a fiasco! There was an understudy for Tracie Thoms who was out sick today. The poor actress was so unprepared that she shouted "line" at least six times. And each time a voice from backstage yelled the dialog back to her. Not only that, but she carried the script with her throughout most of the play and kept looking down and finally, just gave up and stood on the stage and read directly from the script! We felt sorry for her but, like many in the audience,were angry and appalled that this could have happened. We don't know why or who is responsible, but many of us called MTC to complain. In all my many, many years of theater going, I've never experienced anything like this at least not in a professional production.
