We're open!





The show opened on Thursday night after a long string of days and nights 

trying to put all the details in place.  It is everything that I had hoped for 

in a production of the script.  The material is very difficult to bring to life 

properly and his cast and crew has done the hard work to pull it off 

beautifully.  A friend mentioned to me how exciting it would be to 

have "The Tulip" done in New York.  It would be exciting, but I am so 

happy to have had it premier here in Omaha and at the Blue Barn.  

Nothing will top that.   I would not have it any other way.  Here's why:

Last night at the cast party, Pearl came up to me and said, "I want to 

show you my bathroom."  Being an admirer of  fine decor, I agreed.  

When I looked in the bathroom I was amazed to see large plastic sheets 

hung on all the shower walls.  Her lines were written in colored markers 

across the shower walls so she could study them before she went to work.  

Every cast and crew member made a similar effort. 

That's why I love making theatre here.
