Spontaneous Blogging - Comedy Night


So it's Thanksgiving Eve here at Playhouse on Park and we're gearing up for the first event in a fun-filled weekend of comedy and music..

Tonight is comedy night and just a few minutes ago, the first comedian arrived, Jeff Lutz, followed a few minutes later by our second of three comedians Bob Carroll.

The lobby is being festively decorated for the return of Mama D's Outrageous Romp this Saturday night, two shows of music, dancing, comedy and outrageous behavior.  Darlene Zoller, our Artistic Director puts the "D" in Mama D.

Our Box Office Guru and Subscriber Relations Expert Spencer Pond is prepping for the mad rush of people who will descend on our venue, ready to get their laugh on.

Dawn Loveland is our Stage Manager tonight. She is perfecting the lights and sound for tonight's show

Barbara Jurgelas, a comedy veteran and scheduler of the funny people for the playhouse has strolled in for the night's festivities.

There are plenty of tickets available so come on over and escape the hectic holiday preparations for an hour and a half.  Tickets are only $15.00.  The event is BYOB.  If you are going to BYOB, could you also BSFM (bring some for me)

Miss Nelson is on The Marquee


So recently, someone, who shall go unnamed said that I was "Technologically challenged" when it came to posting photos to the playhouse blog.  Boo ya! Nailed it. Take that Tracy Flater..........Oops. 

Not only did I put the picture of the marquee on the blog, I also assembled the letters for the marquee, climbed the shaky ladder and without fear of personal harm, attached the letters to the marquee. 

On any given marquee-changing day, I generally receive spontaneous applause from grateful passersby, that day was no exception. Don't worry, a humble man takes the adulation in great stride. I on the other hand did a hip celebratory dance in honor of myself.

Come see "Miss Nelson is Missing" this weekend at Playhouse on Park. 1:00 & 4:00 PM on Saturday and Sunday. Tickets are only $13.00 for children and $15.00 for adults. This hilarious show runs about forty-five minutes. Meet the cast in the lobby after the show, or at A.C. Petersen Farms, when they do a walk through after each performance. Call 860-523-5900 x10 for tickets and answers to all your questions, up to and including how I got to be such a great dancer.
