oh yeah, i forgot to mention, GO SEE “THE SPITFIRE GRILL.” please. we went to see it on sunday at the theatre centre and it was really well done except the attendance was exceedingly poor. molly mathewson, except in the program she calls herself amelia, is incredibly, incredibly good and it’s worth it just to hear her sing. but the whole thing is good, including a set that might as well be on broadway. it’s simple yet really really well done. there aren’t many sets that good around here.
and also, i don’t find a lot of local plays really worth mentioning. i hate to say negative things about plays because i’m sure there is somebody who would find the mediocre or bad ones good, plus it’s community theater and local theater needs all the help it can get. so mostly i just don’t write anything about the plays i’m not so crazy about.
BUT GO SEE THE SPITFIRE GRILL.
it’s running this weekend, one last chance to see it, thursday through sunday. GO SEE IT.
YES, I’M TALKING TO YOU, RANDY DUNHAM.
he won’t. but YOU SHOULD GO. i didn’t even want to go; i didn’t feel like trying to look presentable on a sunday afternoon; we’d just taken a two-hour bike ride and i was starting to realize i was tired, and i figured at least it would be a chance to sit down for a while.
but it was GREAT. entertaining, good music, the orchestra was quite good. people who have done a lot of theater – pat pennington, andy vandervort – did a fine job, plus people i’d never seen onstage were also good, especially donna regan. i feel that’s not the correct spelling of her name. but she was good.
tonight when i got home, all that was left of a newly-purchased bag of hot dog buns was the shredded bag. MOLLIE STRUCK AGAIN.
and yet she was milling about, sniffing, looking expectantly at me, hoping for MORE FOOD.
ok, that really is all this tuesday night. but i PROMISE i won’t wait an entire week to write again.
ok ok ok,
