American Duct Tape Council FP: It's a good life, theater. You work incredibly hard for months to learn a part and make it your own, and then you stand in the wings all set to go onstage and your dress falls apart. That's why I always carry a roll of duct tape. For when bad things happen and it's too late for repairs, all you can do is keep it in one piece. They're playing your song, your cue is in five seconds, your skirt is on the floor, you pull it up and attach it with duct tape and go out and remember to take shallow breaths and face the audience and don't bend when you sit. That's why we New York women wear black, so the duct tape won't show. GK: Faith Prince for duct tape....it's almost just about the only thing you need sometimes, duct tape. (DUCKS) A message from the American Duct Tape Council. (c) 1999 by Garrison Keillor |
