Dinner Theater

A week ago Saturday, a friend from work was the main actress in a dinner theater her church put on. A bunch of us from work bought tickets and went to cheer her on, as well as enjoy an evening out together. Sarah has been in a play each year, and is hysterically funny.

This particular play was a melodrama. That means the audience gets to shout out feelings, like boo, hiss, off with his head, and such against the 'bad' guys. And cheer and holler things like yes, way to go, and give cat calls and whistle for the 'good' guys.


It is easy to identify right away who is good or bad. Black or white. Pretty obvious. That way we don't accidentally boo the wrong character!

The actors and actresses are over-dramatic, which adds to the humor.

The work gang!
