I heard they were carding people at the box office.

During rehearsals, to keep things lively, I'd sometimes make up something a little dirty - or very dirty. A lot of us have improv backgrounds, and everyone would crack up. People would say, 'I wish we had taped this.' I think the sentences are the kind of thing that lends itself to the dark side of humor.

Let's see how it goes.

During rehearsals, I would occasionally cross the line a bit and use some material that was pretty filthy, ... The cast would crack up, and director James Lapine would say, 'That is so wrong.' On Sunday evening, October 2, some of that material will be used for the first and possibly last time in front of a live audience.
