| I once heard Illeana Douglas at a TCM event say how she when she was very young she once ran into some woman who was in The Dresser in a bank and she said to the woman "I was there the night Tom Courtney forgot his lines and left the stage to get them. And the woman said sarcastically, which one of the nights that?" Implying there were many. (I didn't quite get the quote right. It was very a very funny story when Douglas told it. I didn't quite capture it!!!) |

| Interesting! When I saw it, the stage manager was very flustered by Courtney's lapse, and sent Marge Redmond out to jump the scene by a few lines, and then Tom Courtney yelled out "Just give me the line! I went up! It happens!" And then Marge had to leave the stage, we heard a bunch of rustling and a shouted line, and then the scene started again. When Marge reentered, she got an extended ovation. | |

| At Encores, there have been many times people used to have their scripts in hand, though they usually put them down for the songs. This hasn't been the case very much for the last number of years though, when things have become much more like a full production. | |
