 SMART TALK
By Nurse “Gabby” Johnson
PLEASE R.S.V.P.: Underbelly, Texas’s Oliver F. Winchester Elementary School recently sent open house invitations to us at the Institute for the Linguistically Impaired. Fifth and sixth graders planned to serve snacks, so the invitations ended, “Please R.S.V.P.”
The letters stand for Répondez, s’il vous plaît, French for “Reply, please.” Please R.S.V.P., therefore, means “Please, please reply.” It’s redundant and sounds like begging.
The invitation should have just said, R.S.V.P., or better yet, at least for Underbelly, “Please reply.”

 May 22, 2006 (ITHACA, NY)- The Hangar Theatre kicks off its 2006 Mainstage Season with a world premiere one-man musical featuring 20 great songs, 30 characters, dazzling dance, and one dynamic Broadway performer. From May 31st to June 17th, the Hangar presents Sammy & Me, a one-man show following the story of Sammy Davis, Jr. from his tap dance beginnings to his headlining days on the Las Vegas strip that he helped to desegregate.
In Sammy & Me, Broadway performer Eric Jordan Young joins forces with the Hangar’s Associate Artistic Director, Wendy Dann, to recount the story of Young’s life-long fascination with Sammy, the only African-American member of the famous Rat Pack. Along the way, Young unravels the complexities of being an entertainer caught between racial identity and a drive to transcend race as a performer. |
