What's Left of Maplewood (MN)

We can't draw, so we are left with verbal cartoons about Maplewood city politics.

Spelunking with Becqui

The endless series of one-act plays continued last night at the Clowncil Theater.

Her shot at a little impromptu led us through the arched-eyebrow entrance into the cavern of Becqui's fantasy mind, where we find her hugging a tree to protect it from the roaring chainsaw wielded by Kathy, who has cleverly pretended to be an environmentalist for 50 odd years in preparation for this moment.

The unpretentious H. Alan, known to his chums over at the Fountain Pen Collector Club as 'H', stuck to the script as he sat nodding approvingly.

A little fact checking from Will and the stunned disbelief of the crowd led the director to call for the hook and curtain. We imagine rehearsals will be a little more thorough before Monday night's play,"Plan B Crocodile Tears". H. Alan might have a more extensive speaking part, his walk on appearances having gone so well. The pay is better, too.

    LOL. That was a beautiful exchange. I loved when Diana (IIRC) asked Will how many of these processes he's ever been through before, such that he would speak so authoritatively about what would happen, and he answered "All of them in Maplewood for the past sixteen years." That sort of took the wind out of the sails of Rebecca's posturing.
