This is a way of making myself write something coherent and grammatically correct almost every day. I'm opinionated and need an outlet. I'm also prone to flights of fancy. Thanks for stopping by. |
| The local summer theater put on Shear Madness this week. It's a salon, not a barbershop, that does men mostly and one matron. The owner is a stereotypical gay man of small build. Two of the male customers are undercover cops, and one a business man. It's a comedy and murder mystery with audience interaction built-in. The other hairdresser is a single younger woman, ditzy, of course. The murdered party is an elderly musician upstairs and is never seen. Lots of local humor was thrown in. Places, street names, businesses, even a local radio personality were used. There were lots of simple, obvious jokes, double entendres, but we all laughed hysterically at even the dumbest jokes. So apparently, they were delivered well. What was different is that when the detective started replaying the days events to solve the mystery, like a mystery dinner set-up, suddenly the house lights went on, and over a hundred eye witnesses were called to help. When he recounted a story incorrectly, the audience would boo or call out, and the detective would ask someone what really happened. He gave the front row a hard time when they couldn't remember what went into the brief case at the edge of the stage right in front of them. (The stage was below us.) They couldn't predict what the audience would say or miss, but they played along great. Then during the intermission, they all carried on, the detective entertained questions in the lobby, the "gay" guy asked me for cooking advice. The younger woman dried the hair of the matron who had her hair washed in the first act. Then they resumed, by letting the audience ask questions of the actors. The young people got a charge out of that. One actually came up on stage and made a phone call to the phone number in the matron's purse and she relayed the answers to the rest of us. A vote was taken on who the audience thought was guilty. Then the lights went down, and the person we voted for proved guilty. There were 3 viable suspects, so they had 3 endings ready to go (like the dinner games, again), It was very funny throughout, only a few very risque things, so I wouldn't recommend it for under 12 years old. But 12 and up should find it very funny. A lot of white-haired people were there and enjoyed it tremendously. |
