The play last night was actually really funny! I'm really glad I went. "Arsenic and Old Lace" played at the Terrace Plaza Playhouse, a small local theatre. The actors did a great job, and it was really close to the movie. The actor who played Mortimer was really into his part, he broke a lamp when he ran to the desk in a huff, then he broke a wine goblet (by the stem) when placing it on the table to ask for some wine, and then as he was going out the door, the clock fell off he wall and broke. I don't know if it was 1st night gitters or if the props just weren't that great! It added a lot of laughs to the play.
I really had no idea this playhouse was even there - I've never paid much attention to the "theatre" great or small. I am really glad I went though. Nancy, Linda and I all said we'd like to go to another play soon. We had a lot of laughs at dinner. Between dinner and the play, we had a few minutes so we went to a bargain store. They had so many goofy things and we made comments and giggled as we went through the store. On the way out, I saw some bargain toilet paper called "Silky and Smooth" and I made the comment that it didn't appear to be all that silky and smooth. Then I said it did look better than that toilet paper we have at work, and Nancy said "Oh yeah... I've found twigs in that paper before." Then I said it was a real "pain in the ass" and then Nancy added "yes, and very hard on our cooters." I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes on that one! She is so damn funny. Gotta watch that cooter chafing. Need to be nice to our cooters, they deserve the best!
