This past Sunday, my friend two doors down and I attended a play that the local community theater staged. As you know, I ADORE our local community theater. We went to see Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? by Edward Albee.
Based on the theater's description, I was expecting a funny play - apparently, I missed the last line in the description...
Come to the party, but don’t play the drinking games. The lights are on late at George and Martha’s, as two couples in a quiet college town turn a nightcap into an all-out, all-night fight. Peek through their windows and uncover the devastating truth behind the illusions.
Truly, I knew absolutely NOTHING about this play going in and it was funny and, unexpectedly, also INTENSE. We enjoyed it immensely but both agreed it was INTENSE.
Here's a link that gives a bit more info about the play - but be warned, if you read the entire article there are spoilers, as in it basically tells you the entire play including the ending, so skip it if this sounds like a show you might like to see. You can comfortably read the overview though.
And yes, even though it was INTENSE, I would recommend that you see it if your local theater group is planning to stage it. Especially if your theater group is as good as ours.
A bonus - looking ahead into the season, there are at least two more plays that we would love to see - including It's a Wonderful Life. Sadly, those tickets are mostly gone even though it starts a good two months from now...apparently, the Christmas shows get snapped up at the beginning of the season.

The door saga continues - (the beginning and part two) BUT we may be coming to an end on that particular year and a half old drama.
The Husband mentioned that he had heard about a company that would do the door. Needless to say, I was skeptical because all of the inquiries we have made have been pretty much ignored. I get it. A door is not a big money maker for most general contractors. I sent the company a message and they actually called the same day.
Of course, I did not answer the call because I don't answer numbers I don't know. I had meant to enter The Husband's cell phone but, of course, entered mine by mistake. Once I retrieved the voicemail, I handed the number over to The Husband. And here is where the miracle occurred.
He called them yesterday morning. And they actually showed up at my house yesterday afternoon (THE SAME DAY!) to discuss the door! I was FLOORED when The Husband shared this with me. They left a book of doors they offer - that happens to have the door I want - and told him that we need to fill out a form online and they will give us an estimate ASAP.
So, fingers crossed that I may have a new door before the two year mark of this ridiculousness comes to pass.
Yay about the door! I hope it works out, it sounds promising. I saw the movie and realized it was INTENSE. Seeing the play and knowing nothing about the story would have been difficult for me. :-)
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed on the door!!!
ReplyDeleteI think Christmas plays are always fun, so there you go. The tix have been snapped up.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your door!
that play sounds amazing. Wish I lived closer. Not 10 minutes ago, I was looking at a flyer that came in the mail from my alma mater. It was advertising upcoming plays and I asked Mini if she wanted to take a friend to go see the one in November. I think it is a murder mystery. My college is less than 2 hours from here and we have a niece there who we could take to dinner. I have not gone to a play in AWHILE! Crossing my fingers that the stars align and we get to go.
ReplyDeleteYour door sounds like my kitchen hood . . . kitchen was started 2.5 years ago. I have a guy who did my sister's basement coming to talk to me about what needs to be done on Thursday. I hope your door works out and I hope my hood gets made. At long last.
