And not only is it [...]

Question received:
I am doing a production of Seussical the Musical this summer and had a few questions… does the
score call for upright AND electric bass, or just electric? Also, would you

Ok, here’s my pick for the all time worst Easter joke:

“Well,” the rabbit said,

Happy Easter 2007!
