MIDGE CONSOLES

My dearest Dunbar,

I was horrified to read your missive about your unprecedented dismissal from "Miss Saigon"!!! Having met Miss Kohn and Mr. Kelada (this during my embarrassing cocaine and huffing years) at a party in Hollywood, I am not surprised at your abrupt firing. I long suspected that Mr. Kelada was dipping his wick in the company inkwell. That inkwell taking on the rubinesque personage of Miss Mindy. It appears they are still rather close.

Of course, it was after this soiree that I awoke the next day to discover that I had been stabbed in the side. I had gone to this party with a "gentleman" friend, who had often squired me to celebrity events, but I discovered I could not remember his name, nor locate my underpants or coin purse. So my impressions of Asaad and Mindy remain blurry at best.

Digression strikes again!! Now Miss Pearl, I have spoken to a friend of mine in Independence, MO. He is Kinsey Franklin Hart at the Wooden Leg Theater Co. You must hightail it there post-haste to assume the role of "Stella" in their all paraplegic production of "A Streetcar Named Desire" appropriately retitled "The Shortbus Named Desire". Their original Stella, played by Varina Mae Puckett has begun to reject her baboon heart, and is unable to
continue in the role. I told him that you indeed possess both of your legs, and that they are in working order. He assured me that "steps" would be taken to conceal your non-handicap.

I hope this helps in some way. Do not fret my freshwater Pearl. I still have some connections in the world of theater, and I am more than happy to offer my assistance. I look forward to glowing reviews of your performance.

All of my love and support,
Midge Celestine Peck
