Momma (and of course, Russ),

I meant for you to take the copy of the play with you, but I'm glad you
didn't because yesterday I succeeded in getting a walk-in ticket to the
matinee.  Had a front row set.  It was wonderful. Then last night I read
it.  They cut out a few details mostly of family genealogy.  But it was
definitely the same play.

We were at a Valentine's cocktail party at Elizabeth Spencer's the night
before where I met Millie Barringer, who is the director of Playmakers
Theater and chair of the drama dept.  I told her I was glad to hear about
the play's good reception because the first report you and I heard wasn't
so great!  She was amused to "hear" that her opening night parties cost
$25,000 apiece.  She said the caterer will be very flattered.

Off to church, more later.
