The Play's The Thing...
One of my poker boys, Toby, is also an actor. He's pretty serious about his craft, too. He invited us to come see his current show last week and said it was really funny. I knew it must be good because he told me not to come see one of his last gigs.
The play was Man With The Pointed Toes. It takes place in 1980 and the lead character is an uncouth cowpoke type who becomes filthy rich when the ranch he wins in a poker game is found to be prime oil land. In order to impress a big city girl, he hires a tutor to give him some culture.
Steven, Pirate Rick, Amy and I saw it on Thursday night and it was very, very funny. Toby was hilarious. I thought Steven and Rick were going to bust a gut every time he came on stage.
The rest of the cast was good, too. There were some quite funny moments by all. It was staged in the round (and up in the seating area) so you got to see several different views.
The show's at Hale Centre Theatre and it's playing through this weekend if you want to check it out. It's definitely worth the price of admission.
