Hexagon, the group that stages an annual satirical revue for charity, invited Randi to appear in a sketch spoofing the Metro audition process. She was on stage last week, with her parents and an old friend in the audience.

"All three of them asked me to sign their programs," said Randi. "I looked at my parents, and I said, ' Hello , I'm your daughter.' People do treat me a little differently."

Randi will be at tomorrow night's Hexagon performance, at the Duke Ellington School theater in Northwest Washington. (So will I.)

This year's show raises money for Capital Hospice and Hospice Caring Inc. For information, visit http://www.hexagon.org or call 202-333-7469.
