It seems the gauntlet of challenge has been thrown. If you attend HAR (and if you don't, you should!) you know that the show consists of a series of disconnected skits, each with a different director and cast. Occasionally, one person will direct more than one sketch, and there is some cast sharing...but...
In casual conversation last week one director, Brad, mentioned to another director, Bev, that his skit was sure to be the best in the show. Of course, Bev could not leave well enough alone. She had to go and share that info with her cast. A great cacophonous wailing arose from the rehearsal hall, with shouts of "Bring it on, Brad", and "Oh yea. No way!", and other equally threatening, and intelligent epithets.
"We should send him a picture," someone suggested, 'to show Brad and his cast exactly what they are up against."
So, that's what you're seeing up there, the cast of "Emil Goes Gaga" nasty and ready for battle.
*****If you don't see the show this year, you will never get the answers to these burning questions:
- How did Abe Lincoln hook up with Dorothy Gale, and why is Bazooka Joe baking cakes in Two Rivers?
- What happened to Terri's impeccable sense of style, and why is Biff moonlighting as a bounty hunter?
- How many women can one man propose to in a single day?
- What's a flash mob and why is everyone in the audience on their feet dancing?
- Katy Perry? Really?
- Betty Grunzinski...thong or granny gruns?
Now we've got you thinking, don't we? Tickets are still available at the Pig in Manitowoc, and at Inman's Jewelers in Two Rivers.
We'll know if you don't come. We have our ways!
