For a while there, Fritz was doing weekly monologues at a theater in Burbank. I don't know if he still does. I know, at the time, it was nearly impossible to get tickets. PBS aired one of his monologues maybe six or seven years ago. All I'll say about Fritz is that there were few people on the NBC lot who were nicer than he was. He made a point of remembering names and stopping to say hello if you passed in the hallway -- not just waving as he walked by, but stopping. > Gray was near the top of the heap, but he has plenty of company -- > many of whom (Anna Devere Smith, to name one) do it much better. Good to know there are still others out there. I've often thought of assembling my Peace Corps/Kazakhstan stories into some sort of a monologue, but I'd have no venue to put on the show. -- Kevin M.
