Cover the Boards with Glory!

That’s what Etel would write in the opening night card for every show I did at her Illinois Theatre Center in Park Forest.

I remember my first audition there, for “Blue for an Alabama Sky.” After that show, I never had to audition for her again. Etel had a role for me every February (the theatre did six shows a season, including an African-American playwright’s piece in honor of Black History Month). If I could carry a tune, she would have cast me in one of the musicals during the season as well. But we all know that I can’t sing. Still, she inspired the confidence in me to sing THREE songs during the production of Charlayne Woodard’s “Pretty Fire.”

She was hilarious, curt, sweet, cranky, kind, and most of all — talented.

Rest in Peace, Etel Billig.

Thanks to everybody who supported by watching the Shit Black Guys Say video. Here’s hoping Kevin and Inda can be in the same town together long enough to do some shit together, too.
