(submitted by

one of the performances I forgot if I had put "Eugene's
notebook" under his bed. This was a crucial prop and for the
last 8 performances, I had no thoughts of not having put the book in the
proper place. It was so second nature that I couldn't remember if I did or
not. As I watched the actor reach under his bed for the book, I had
all these thoughts flash before me and was I relieved when he came up with
the book. Little things like that keep you on your toes.
