Tonight I took the whole family to our local community theatre. This was a bit of a gamble as the play tonight contained some questionable behavior, language and themes. However, it also contained some hilarity. The show was DEARLY DEPARTED, an outrageous comedy.
I had to explain a few things to the kids -- the reverend at the funeral is late for, and has to exit early, the service because, as we learned earlier, he had visited a new Mexican food resaurant and was having a little digestion problem. Or, as I explained to one of my children...he has to go poopie really bad.
I was impressed with their ability to carry off the work. This was true community theatre effort -- no one on the stage has any aspirations to a career in theatre. They do this for fun. And as such, they did a great job.
Oh, and no...there was no standing ovation.
