    Good morning™, theatrical audience!

    Our Town is a very interesting concept for a play. The play is metatheatrical, being set in the theatre where it is performed. The main character, “Our Town’s narrator, the Stage Manager, is completely aware of his relationship with the audience, leaving him free to break the fourth wall and address them directly. According to the script, the play is to be performed with little scenery, no set and minimal props. The characters mime the objects with which they interact. Their surroundings are created only with chairs, tables, staircases, and ladders.” (quotation from Wikipedia) It’s popular for high school productions because it cost almost nothing for sets and props.

    And that joke about Flintheart’s name accidentally changed on the marquee to Flintstone could bring someone to say that.

    Vitamin Flintheart? Is that the same actor who’s related to Mineral Quartzbrains?

    Kandikane’s hair is wrong. Should be white and red, not yellow and red.

    Someone got sloppy with the lettering on the marquee, crooked.

    I find myself losing interest in Dick Tracy and that saddens me.

    Hey, where’s the guy who complains about the DT sidetrack from the main story? I’d thought he would’ve been on here by now.

    “In this production, Vitamin Flintstone will be played by Alan Reed.”

    Our Town is my favorite American play. Rich and wonderful. I’ve wanted for years to play the Stage Manager.

    I take it that the play about the comic strip in a comic strip Tracy ended it’s run. And, so not off to Broadway.

    What Kandilame meant to say was; “That’s culture for you, pop!”.

    I’ve only been reading Tracy for a short time but already I’ve seen Annie sitting inappropriately (given her age) on Daddy Warbuck’s lap and this candy loving child married to this moth-eaten old man. Kind of disturbing. Hurl inducing even. That said…

    Another Take  over 5 years ago

    1- BARBER POLE: Oh boy… 2- …another ancient amateur play. That’ll bring the folks running here on their walkers… 3- TRACY’S DAD: This is but a stepping stone to something considerably more edgy my dear. Actually performed by that Harry Potter boy on The Great White Way in the not too distant past if memory serves. BARBER POLE: Yeah right. I hope it doesn’t have any lines given your memory. WAIT A SEC. Are you talking about EQUUS? That has full frontal nudity! TRACY’S DAD: Indeed it does darling. BARBER POLE: Can I have the puke bag concession? I’ll make a fortune!!!!

    Back to this again? This strip can’t stay on the same story for even a week.

    It’s a brilliant play – austere and dark – that people insist on misreading as homespun and folksy. Pretty much the same thing that happens with Robert Frost.

    Good to see Kandikane up and about after the birth of little Kane Flintheart (even if her hair is miscolored). Her remark about PopCult (as I have long called it) is apt in response to Vitamin’s amusing story. I hope his run at the Patterson goes well, though I don’t much like the play…. Meanwhile, how will this work into the Little Doc drama?
