This last Saturday was a big day for comic Martin Short as he was finally ushered into Saturday Night Live's Five-Timers Club, having hosted the show five times since 1986.
My own Five-Timers Club, for schools and communities theaters who've done five productions of my plays, may not be nearly as famous, but I like to think the members are just as laudable as old Marty.
And the club now has a sixth member. My friends at the Jacksonville Performing Arts Company (that's the North Carolina Jacksonville, not the Florida one) just booked their fifth production of my plays.
What's crazy (and highly appreciated!) is that four of those productions were for The Enchanted Bookshop Musical. The theater company first produced it in March 2020, performed it again with two different youth groups in 2022, and are now about to start rehearsals for their 2025 production.
I guess they really like it!
The other production? That was for Whole Latte Love, a coffee shop comedy with its special blend of magic.
Maybe I should start ordering some Five-Timers club jackets?
