I'm proud to be an MTG member because
MTG's devotion to Broadway's great (and even not so great) musicals is an important nod to one of the truest American art forms.

Funniest / Most Memorable Thing That's Happened to Me on Stage
Well, I hate to relive it, but... missing my entrance as Vera in MTG's production of MAME with a live mic and expletives coming from me in the wings as I tried to figure out how to enter the scene from the incorrect wing would have to be pretty high on the list. Luckily I was rescued by the fantastically galant and clever MTG member Glenn Rosenblum who left the stage and grabbed me by the hand and allowed me to comically (and shamefully) get across the stage to the proper wing so the show could carry on. I think the audience enjoyed being witness to my mishap but I don't need a repeat of that happy accident!
