I do have, by most accounts, an excellent memory. However, I am in the habit of keeping semi-meticulous journals on productions that I am in, which enables me to recall specific, "Trivial Pursuit" type factoids about the shows I have been in.
Here is a list of statistics about the shows I have been in, which I include here purely for fun, and to give you a rough sketch of the type of career of I have had so far...
Total productions: 18

Number of musicals in which I had solo numbers: 2
Total plays in which I portrayed more than one character: 6
Number of shows where I appeared in the very first scene: 16
Number of shows where I appeared in the very last scene: 12
Number of shows where I delivered the very first line: 6 The very last line: 3
Largest Cast: 44 people in the musical Scrooge.
Smallest Cast: 3 people (a never before performed one act play, from this summer)
Largest crowd ever performed for: 400+

Number of plays that were supposed to require a stage kiss, but I talked my way out of: 1

Hi Ty,
Sorry I haven't had much of a chance to read your posts lately.
But they certainly look intriguing to say the least.
I'll be coming back later today or tomorrow to take my time reading each one and will comment appropriately on them.
Take care
A list is like a journal. Says so much with so little.
Yours looks commendable Ty & makes for clear statistics of your progress.
I'd love to keep a book list. But remembering all I've read from childhood would take me forever.
I once read the book list of a famous author from long ago and suddenly, it was like he was in the room once more and his personality from the past with all its power & vulnerability was shining through.
