On The DL…

Just How Hot Are Those Stage Lights, Anyway?


Thu., May 18, 8 p.m., $37-$43, Philadelphia Theatre Company, 1714 Delancey St., 215-985-0420, www.phillytheatreco.com

At the Meet-the-Artists night for Terrence McNally's Some Men, patrons are given the opportunity to ask the cast and crew about their work and process.

There's a small chance theatergoers actually want to know the difference between the Stanislavski System and method acting or what in the holy hell a gobo is, but there is always that question that everyone is too afraid to ask.

Like, what if an actor has to suck face with a castmate who has toxic breath?

Tony Award-winner and Some Men cast member John Glover has never had that particular problem, but once while in a play with strict vegetarian Carol Kane, she was so repulsed by his meat-laced breath that she asked him to brush his teeth and tongue before their love scenes.

In response, Glover went herbivore until the play ended.
