"Play On!"

Perhaps my sometimes exasperating experiences in the annual Sisterhood Play of my shul make me uniquely suited to enjoy this sort of comedy, but last night I attended the YCDS performance of a very clever show entitled, "Play On!" and I enjoyed it immensely.

The play is about an amateur theatre company preparing for a murder mystery they are about to perform. The first act is a rehearsal four days before the show, the second act is dress rehearsal and the last act is opening night.

While the actors and the play were far from polished, I was ROLLING in the aisles, gasping for breath.  Of course, the 'play within the play' was not going smoothly at all, with absentee cast members, flubbing of lines, script rewrites, prop difficulties, snarkiness between cast members.... you know all the things that never happen in real life ;)

I think our Sisterhood should rewrite this play and do it next year.

(Of course, we'd have to cut a few things.............. :D )
