Had a great night at the Stage Coach Theatre with my bride watching "Greater Tuna" be performed by Ben Hamill and Rob Tromp, directed by Randall Webster.
With all my interest in plays and musicals, I'd actually never set foot in the SCT until tonight. It was quite a treat, while at the same time realizing its limitations (small stage, limited seating, threadbare feel to it).
The theater itself kinda reminded me of Scarlett O'Hara, wearing her newly sewed old-drapes-to-evening-gown outfit as she set off to visit Rhett Butler....nice, but.....well, you get the picture. Still, the perfomance was wonderful.
In the second half of the play, a pastor character delivers an impromtu eulogy of a newly-deceased Judge Roscoe Butler.
It reminded me of every bad political speech I've had the discomfort to deliver...and others have had the greater discomfort to sit through. Click above and watch a You Tube version of the hackneyed, used up and public domain expressions of this poor speech and laugh!
