We saw "You Can't Take it With You" last night at the Lockport Palace Theater. What a fun play! Of course it was written for a different social era, so terms that were shocking to a 1937 audience didn't face the 2010 group. Phrases that today would be consider politically incorrect, still garnered laughs. But a little bit of nonsense now and then is needed.
One of the actors I first met when I was on the school board, and he was on the board for a neighboring district. Another actor and I attend the same Temple. A third I know from working on Wine Trail promotion projects. Three different worlds of mine together on one stage! Remember hearing about seven degrees of separation? Well here is was in true life for me.
So, while I was enjoying the humor, I also enjoyed the interaction between people I know on the stage. Watching them take on a different role and relish the opportunity was uplifting. Maybe that's what the evening stands out in my mind. A group of people took time to have some fun. The actors had their avocation, the audience had entertainment.
I hope you have time for some fun - whatever it may be.
L'Chaim - To life!
