Naturally, I've been rehearsing lately, and most of my writing has been script or copy or programme or press release or flyer or poster for the show, which is why Stephanie is still waiting.
The rest of you perhaps, not so much.

"no-hits" is the verb, albeit a dubious one.
Thanks for answering my question earlier! I'm hungry now.
We're going to get a full recap of the show, right?
Michael, 'dubious' is a good description of the verbification of 'no-hits'.
Cattiva, I worry that non-clown, non-theatre readers will be bored. But if you're interested, just for you.
