An old memory: hanging out in a HW auditorium, years after graduating – going to a dress run of one of Ted’s shows, and seeing a printed copy of his notes, and this note among them, to some unfortunate:

“If you don’t take your watch off, I’m going to cut it off.”

I was never in one of Ted’s shows, and never saw his notes. I seem to remember them as typed on colored paper, in a small font, distributed to everyone (another strike on that side – I really have to systematize my work on this note business). But that made me laugh so hard. And it made me realize Ted was human. I suppose at the time, he would have still been “Mr. Walch.”

I want to make a documentary about his directing. Having said that, I have no resources with which to do it. But someone should. “Master Class with Ted Walch,” or something.
