Brandy was trying to entertain Makenna in the van.  Turns out she entertained us.  Here is Makenna's first knock knock joke.

Later she added a twist to the joke.  I have added her 2nd joke below.

This is from the Dallas Morning News...

Of the shows I caught on Friday and Saturday, days two and three of the 11-day event, Second Thought Theatre came on strong with Eugene Ionesco’s The Lesson. Second Thought is the most established of the five small Dallas theater companies in the festival this year. The Lesson uses a lot of personnel associated the ensemble before the recent reorganization – and is none the worse for that.

Some of director Mac Lower’s ideas are too silly even for Theatre of the Absurd: Anastasia Munoz’s perky direct addresses to the audience as the Pupil and Abigail Herring’s sexy subtext as the Maid just don’t make sense. Undeniably, though, Lower gets great performances from all three actors. David Lugo’s Professor transitions from Elmer Fudd-like stutters to violent magnificence with all kinds of psychological detail.

The Lesson Opens Tomorrow

As you know I have been directing The Lesson by Eugene Ionesco.  Well, the time has come.  It opens tomorrow, 3/04/11.  Performances are tomorrow at 8pm, Sat. 3/05/11 at 5pm, and Thurs. 3/10/11 at 7:30pm.  Tickets are $10.  It is being performed as part of the Out Of The Loop festival.  Come check it out.

Here are a few photos from dress rehearsal last night.
