LOOK OUT, BROADWAY!

Here we come!   The other day Avenidas staged its second annual Avenidas Follies, and JoAnn, one of the young lady participants and I were asked to do a skit.  I was handed a book of skits to look over.  Then JoAnn and I talked about it, and the following evolved out of two brief discussions we had.

A BRIEF CONVERSATION

Don:  Hi, JoAnn.

JoAnn:  Hello, Don.

Don:  That was a pretty good lunch the other day.

JoAnn:  Which one?

Don:  The rigoletto and chicken.

JoAnn:  That’s rigatoni!  Rigoletto’s an opera!

Don:  Oh.  You mean the one by Joe Green?

JoAnn:  That’s right.  Except it’s pronounced Guiseppi Verdi.

Don:  You know, they’ve asked us to do a skit for the follies.  What do you think?

JoAnn:  (doubtfully)  I don’t know.

Don:  Have you ever done any acting?

JoAnn:  The last time I was in a play was back in high school -- back when dinosaurs roamed the earth!

Don:  Give it  some thought.  ‘Bye, JoAnn.

JoAnn:  I will.  Goodbye, Don

***
It ran for about 30 seconds.


I didn’t realize that photos were being taken, so Cliff took this one of us after the show was over.

  1. What a team! Next time you and JoAnn are going to have to do a longer skit! How about this one:

    If there's no blackboard you could update it with a PowerPoint slide show.

  2. I forgot to ask for your autograph! You two did a great job!

    Now that you've seen the show, you can start planning for next year!
