Description

Several years ago, I was the House Photographer at the old Waldo Astoria Dinner Theatre in Kansas City. One of the longest-running plays to ever appear there was Dan Goggin's original "Nunsense," a musical comedy which has won worldwide acclaim. You can learn more about Nunsense HERE. I had a chance to work with and photograph some of the local cast members. This is "Sister Mary Amnesia" who lost her memory after a crucifix fell on her head. Her puppet companion is "Sister Mary Annette." LOL- Always loved that name... The Waldo Astoria and Tiffany's Attic playhouses were closed years ago, and replaced by the "New Theatre Dinner Playhouse" which is still going strong. I'm still alive, and slowly working my way back - although it's taking me longer to get out of this blue funk than expected. Mostly it's due to this crappy shift I'm on, but I only have a little over a week; then I'll go on mid-shift. I know my commenting is still kind of spotty, but I'm working to get caught up - I'll get there, eventually. I'm also working on the next page in the T.N.A. story, and hope to post it soon. Hope you are all doing well, and as always, thank you for dropping by!

Wow Rod, I know of the theatre but had no idea you used to be the house photographer there. I'm going to check out the link you provided. I myself have been going to the New Theatre just off of Metcalfe for many years now.

This is "Sister Mary Amnesia" who lost her memory after a crucifix fell on her head..This is just too funny. Betcha it was one funny play. This really brought a smile to my face.. Graveyard shift almost over? Must be Sister Mary Amnesia's prayers for you..Heard she forgot why she was praying though..
