social security was worth the wait!

I bet you think I'm going to talk about retirement... nope!

This "Social Security" is a play, written by Andrew Bergman, that opened on Broadway back in 1986.

Unfamiliar with his name?

He's the one who gave us "Blazing Saddles"!!!

Ah, yes, that rings a bell, much like Pavlov did!

And, right on cue, there's a laughing dog in the clouds!

That's quite a nice triangle of nose it has, too.

Doesn't it remind you of a canine version of the masks associated with theatre works?

Right place, right time!

That fanciful creature showed up at one end of the building that houses the Jim Ingham Black Box...

and there's a couple of laughers that greeted me heartily at the other end of the Tybee Performing Arts site!

Mary Ann and Bill Cooper, in the flesh, not just on fb!

How wonderful to sit with them tonight and get hugs!

Yes, and to laugh with them, too, at the shenanigans in the play!

Shenanigans a-plenty there were, of the sexual variety, starting with those of a college girl and working on up to her grandmother and even her art-gallery auntie!

Yes, yes, and those of the college girl, so long sheltered by her repressed mom, were described in great detail!!!

Oh, yes, what glorious fun that was!!!

Then it was time for Kim Trammell and Renee DeRossett to exit, stage left, to greet us in person outside in the open air!

I'm so glad they're both hale and hearty again, as they have been so ill that the play was thrice postponed from the first two weeks of April to this last week and the first week of May.

Kudos to them as the Auntie and Grandma, as well as to Gary Shelby (Uncle), Arnie Correa (Dad) and Casey Bessette (Mom), and Larry Adams (Grandma's artist lover), with all roles in regard to the ne'er seen college girl.

Yes, I'll have to refer others to this for a jolly laugh at the antics of humans in the 1980's!
