I am NOT going back into Amy's Bread. I am NOT going back in! I am NOT!!
Here at New World Stages we have many post show routines. Missi Pyle and I like to share a post show cocktail. And look like we're in a cop show. "Tonight, on a very special JERRY WEXLER AND THE NUN..."
Cast member Kirsten Holly Smith, aka Dusty Springfield, and I sharing a post show moment.
My favorite costume. Hands down. So 70's. Yeah baby! (PS - my daughter designed and drew the art on that mug. So proud!)
I’m not a doctor, but I play one in Forever Dusty. However, If I were a REAL doctor...this might be the last image you ever see...
Exciting action photo! My 90 second quick change!!
This is me once again trying to call my stage manager. Until I realize that:
1. This is the prop phone on our Forever Dusty set... 2. she’s the one taking my picture.
Musical Director Mike Murray and I walking to make half hour... He follows me around.
On the way to my second show, this is me trying to use a pay phone to tell my stage manager I’m running late. Until I realize that: 1. no one actually still uses pay phones. 2. I can probably just call on my iPhone.
After shows, I visit with Darryl Winslow at the Avenue Q concessions. I like to discuss the many ways in which we can incorporate puppets into Forever Dusty...!
Hey! This theatre has a washer and dryer!
Here’s a picture of me that Missi brought in. It was taken in Winston-Salem, NC some %@#! years ago. I’m holding an Emmy in one hand and a bottle of what I think was cranberry juice in the other. The rest is cloudy, at best...
And then...Sean and Alfred snuck this picture. It's Christina Sajous and I listening to Dusty perform "Son Of A Preacher Man."
This was taken in the wings just moments before I re-enter as Jerry Wexler. Sean, Alfred and Jerry Wexler...BFFs!
Here I’m about to do an offstage voice of an incredibly whiny stage manager... The band calls him Mr. Fussypants. I hear there's already a half hour comedy series in the works!
Benim Foster, Jonathan C. Kaplan, and Sean Patrick Hopkins. The Men of Forever Dusty.
Here at Forever Dusty we have many different pre-show routines. Cast member Sean Patrick Hopkins and I brush our teeth.
This is the lovely Kim Carbone, who makes all of our sound... sound so lovely. (Don't you love it when you think you need to lean back in a photo to fit into the frame? But you only end up looking like this…??)
As I arrive at the theatre, I always love sneaking my way through the audience who are about to see me in the show. This is always a special moment. And they have no idea…shhhh.
On my way back from an audition, I ran into these guys...

Hello there everyone. Follow me, Benim Foster, as I take you through one of my two-show days of Forever Dusty. Enjoy! I like to start off my day with a visit to Amy’s Bread! If I hit it now, then I won’t be tempted later, on the way to work.
End of the night. On my way home…
