Just figurative travel this time, folks!
I never once left this seaport, but boy, did I get around!
I had a comedy, a musical comedy, and a film about music!
I even managed to catch a 24-Hour Play Festival, too!
What a frisky outing!
"Hazard Point" featured
a little Southern inn
full of guests who were
current and former
lovers and spouses
of other guests -
you needed a scorecard to
keep up with who was,
or had been,
zoomin' who!
Hilarious!!!
And here's a cool side note: not only was it about a bed and breakfast, it was performed in a bed and breakfast! It was a new venue for us, too, so that was pretty cool!
We were invited to join Bonnie ("inn mistress") and Don ("alcoholic banker and guest"), and Don's mom, at Betty Bombers for a bite after the show. Of course we accepted!
JinHi and Mark were there, too, and then Jim Reed showed up!
Sounds like an impromptu party to me!
They brought up the new Muppet show coming soon on television. Say what? I had missed that news! They talked about the changes for Miss Piggy and Kermit and the Swedish Chef. I brought up Gonzo and Henrietta, the alien and the chicken. Why were they a couple? Well, as I said, "Once you go chicken, you can't go back!"
Laughing out loud, y'all!
(smile!)
Woo wee!
Those barbershop-style harmonies of the large local group, 13th Colony Sound, and of the Southern Gentlemen from Georgia Southern University offered a toe-tappin' time for all!
The young men from GSU sang three songs to open the second act:
"What a Wonderful World", "Georgia May", and "New York, New York".
How did this group fit into this tale of a barbershop closing and singers having nowhere to practice? They were invited guests! Like all of us!
Incredibly, the show had been written and produced by the men of 13th Colony Sound. Bravo!
My favorite part was in the first act. All the men entered "the barbershop" in the garb of their trades, showing they came from all walks of life. Very nice! Plus, they started off with "Accentuate the Positive"!
That's one of my favorites!
I've been hooked on these ever since June of 2011. The very first one marked my introduction to kickstarter.
What a great beginning!
Wow! I continue to be amazed by the talent showcased at each of these events over the past four years!
"SSSynicism", about an entrepreneur with an eye for niche markets, like ... Albino Adventures... or Pyromaniacs Firefighters Association... or, this time, the artistic endeavors of snakes and such.
"The Interview", in which an abandoned cat has the final say on the acceptability of would-be adopters.
"Nothing Ventured" had three teen girls, sneaking off in the night, in the woods, to a boy's house, playing Truth Or Dare along the way.
"Most Important Thing" featured a dispute over a single-shot coffee-maker called Rebecca. (The judge, whose catchphrase was "The ball is in my court now!", eventually dismissed the case over insufficient grounds. Hahaha! Thanks, Thomas!)
"Three Witches and a Sacrifice" followed the bumbling antics of novices trying to time the act with a rising moon.
Yeah, I guess you can tell which were my favorites!
(smile!)
"The Winding Stream: The Carters, The Cashes And The Course Of Country Music" presented the history of the two families that gave the world mountain music. Originating in Virginia and sweeping all around, A.P. Carter gathered together songs which had been fated to disappear into the smoke of the air, singing them with his wife, Sara, and sister-in-law, Maybelle.
The story ended with the deaths of the Carter sisters and Johnny Cash, with them falling like dominoes from 1998 to 2003.
Lots of good music, lots of stories I didn't know, and a great history lesson, too!
