February Plays

Today after we finished shoveling snow for the umpteenth time John asked if me if I wanted to try to get half price tickets to a play. Sounded good to me so he called and tonight we are going to see The Fall of Heaven. The Playhouse description from their website: "Tempest Landrey, a street-wise young man living in Harlem, unexpectedly finds himself at the Pearly Gates. When Saint Peter orders him to hell, the quick-witted Tempest refuses to go. A technical loophole forces heaven to send Tempest back to Earth with an angel in tow to keep him out of trouble. The resulting battle of wills takes an intriguing look at good versus evil and what it means to be human. Then on the last Saturday of this month we are going to see How? How? Why? Why? Why? with my Aunt Becky and cousin Barb. I'm hoping we can have them over for dinner before the play but have not made these plans with them yet. Anyhow here is this plays description: "Popular NPR humorist Kevin Kling performs his play exploring the difference between the trip you plan and the trip you take in life. He says trauma can't be cured, but it can be healed - and Kling's method of healing is laughter. In recounting the events of a debilitating motorcycle accident, Kling uses great skill for riveting and hilarious storytelling to examine how tragedy can positively define a person's life."
