I'm running a day late with that wish, but my lovely wife and I had a great time this evening on our Valentine's date, enjoying a fine dinner and a very funny play.
We were at the First United Methodist Church in Huntington to see Bitsy and Boots in the Tropics, another hilarious comedy written by my pal Jonathan Joy.
It's become an annual Valentine's Day event, and one we really enjoy. The dinner was terrific, and the show was a delight. It followed the (mis)adventures of sisters Bitsy and Boots (played wonderfully by Jane Morse and Loretta Hetzer) as they visited new parents Tommy (Adam Stephens) and Kat (Melissa Langham) while they're on vacation on a tropical island.
Also joining in the fun are the devilish Ida (Rebecca Payne), Kat's spiteful Mom, Pearl (Leann Haines) and a police officer (Stacy Morgan).
It was especially fun to watch three stage veterans - Max (T. Michael Murdock), Raul (Michael Naglee) and Franklin (Stephen Vance) taking turns stealing scenes - three very funny guys who know when to play it small and when to go big.
We laughed and laughed - and enjoyed the heck out of the show.
Best of all, it was for a good cause: supporting the church's mission trips. If you missed it, mark your calendar and be there next year.
You can thank me later.
