That's all there is...there ain't no more

Friday night Roger and I and another couple went out to eat and to a play.  The dinner was quite good except for the rolls which were so hard even Roger had trouble breaking  them in half.  The server,  was clever, witty and fun.  The rest of the dinner was great.  What we didn't know was that the dinner would be the best part of the evening.

We left the restaurant and headed for the play.  Talk about a real bust!  The play was all that and more.  The acting was not stellar, but for amateurs it was okay.  The story itself was the problem.  It was so bad that when it was finally over, we all sat there waiting for the stage lights to come back on.  Much to our surprise, they never did.  Apparently the play was over.

We have been attending these plays with our friends  for 3 years.  In all that time we've seen some good, some not so good, and some rather poor renditions.  This one, however, takes the cake. It's also the first time in 3 years that the good old Wisconsin audience didn't rise to their feet for a standing ovation.  Why didn't they?  Because like me, no one knew it was over.

They're putting it on next weekend as well.   We should go again.  Perhaps this time they'll  finish the dopey thing.
