Sometimes your ceiling falls in.
It’s either hilarious or it’s not.
Later, you go have a beer on a boat to recover.
That helps.

The Colbar West
I paid a visit to the Colbar West, which is the West Coast reboot of the Colbar & Pygmy Zoo, (founded by K. Colburn Esquire, in Louisville Kentucky, at the Actor’s Theatre Thereof, Anno Domini 2015, now transplanted to a certain South Coast Rep-related location.)

Here is what several stage / general managers meant to say, distilled out of the multiple paragraphs (sometimes INVOLVING CAPS) in which they tried to whip an unruly company into shape…

Unlike the tickets, they are

Adam and Eve were unclothed
somewhat like you, now.
O hasten toward staff t-shirts!
Your ONE FINAL AFTERNOON!
(From an out of town show:)
O guard carefully!
Deer activity is high
Swerve at your own risk.
Ornate box turtles dwindle,

(Technological difficulties:)
oh no! Mac is dead!
and the other one is old?
can we have one more?
everything is hard in life.
