My Latest Project

Okay, so it's not new, but it is my Latest exciting Project. When Bruce didn't hire me as a reviewer of local theater productions for the local paper, I decided, "Why not write something for him (or the salaried person he's taken on) to review?" He won't come to the play, because I doubt that he's a golfer. I've seen him, and... well, never mind... that's not what this posting is about. My latest project is a stage play about golf. Yeah, I know, you're asking: Will that work? Sure, it will. You ask: "Will the actors be swinging golf clubs?" Sure. "Aren't you putting the audience in danger?" you ask. My answer: Their only danger is if they paid for their tickets with the last of their milk and cookie money for the month. Hey! Can't they attend at the end of the month and go without cookies and milk for a day or two? Come on. My play about bowling was successful. Didn't you see "Doubles?" Lots of laughs and much applause. I wrote a screenplay around it, too, and we did begin filming it, but -- Blah! Didn't work. I knew better. I should have paid attention to the early movies that simply filmed a production of a stage play. Ever see one of those? Yeccch! My Latest Project is called "Foursomes." So far, it's funny on paper, but I haven't yet heard applause. Maybe in a few months I can hold some cold readings and see how it's working. Maybe at least one (or maybe all) of the actors will clap -- at least in appreciation. Maybe.
