Our friend Dave does community theater and we like to go support him in all things "jazz hands"- we went to his latest play "I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change" today and it was great. We had a good time but were especially humored by this little tidbit brought to you by Sean's Internet skills (shout out!) when he discovered a rather disgruntled theater goer's negative review. I bring you the following gem:
The purpose of my comment is to alert prospective ticket buyers to some aspects of the play of which they may not be aware. (I specifically looked for this information before attending so I could make an informed choice and found it unavailable.) First of all, there is some profanity including cursing and one scene in which cast members appear in their underwear. Most problematic for me though is the notion throughout the play that sex without marriage is the norm and somehow a funny subject. I recognize this sort of thing goes on in the world and is a part of some people's lives but frankly when I hear the word "condom" in a play that's supposed to be a musical-comedy the laughter stops, the yawning begins and the word "agenda" comes to mind. If this is the sort of thing that turns your crank don't let me stop you. The performers all did a fine job and there were some funny scenes. Just know what you're in for.
I'll have you all know (lest you think we were at a major porno) that the play is NOT about sex outside of marriage or flagrant use of condoms or even underwear (egads! people wear underwear!) but was a really funny, sweet play about love and relationships. Too funny what people think, and needless to say, we're all quite curious what our friend's "agenda" is...if you figure it out, let us know.
Had a fun dinner afterwards and thought I'd share with you two funny pics:
Sean's hysterical shirt (and yes, he DOES make good babies...or at least one so far)
And our friend's baby Carter is into putting his hands into the air and yelling "whoa!" so of course we all like to do that too...
Which is funny because my niece Abby used to do the exact same thing (but her thing was yelling "yay!" and all of us crazy adults would stand around shouting "yay" with our arms in the air like idiots just because it was so contagious and entertaining. She was so little here, here's a flash from the past in 2004 of both of us yelling yay. Wow, I miss that girl. Who wants to finance a visit for us to go see her in Alaska? :) Come on, you know you want to.
