The Play's The Thing

Nice people gathered round to read "It's All About The Hair" 

Things that were said about our play at the reading in Cathy's dining room: "Shakespearean in its depth!" "Broadway-ready!" "Can I play Hamlet?" "Where's the dance number?" "What happened to my solo?" "I laughed, I cried, I emoted." 

Things that were actually said during our play at the reading in Cathy's dining room: The painful butchering of various Yiddish words, including "L'chaim!" ("La chawm?") "kugel" (what's a kewgell?) and "Bubbie" (Boobie). 

Things that were actually said after our play reading: "Funny." "It worked." "Needs work." "It's commercial, and that's a good thing." "Where's the bathroom?" "You've hit the mother lode, ladies." "There's my ride." "Wine? Yes please." "Can I take this enchilada to go?"
