Don Polec's World

The opportunity of 9 Lives

Thursday, March 05, 2009

I actually was invited to perform on stage at the Merriam Theater's current run of "Cats"

Obviously nobody connected with the show had ever seen me dance OR seen me in a leotard, but hey, I wasn't going to say anything.

The role involved a 20 second walk-on at the end where I would cross the stage and crawl into an oven (evidentally a long standing tradition when a performer is in his final show).

This meant I would spend about 50 times as long putting on my makeup as I would spend in front of the audience. Oh well, that's show biz.

Cats runs through March 8th. For tickets call 215-336-1234.
