You have to appreciate it for what the New York Neo-Futurists is: “30″ plays in 60 minutes. It’s not Al Pacino screaming “ATTICA” in Dog Day Afternoon, but I’m sure he had more than one take to get that done. These guys performed randomly selected plays nonstop for exactly 60 minutes. The premise is that the audience yells out a number from the “menu” of plays and a cast member jumps up and removes that number from the clothesline of numbers and they perform the requested 1 minute play on the spot. There are no breaks, no retakes, allowing for some humorous mistakes.
Obviously not all plays were amazing or all that memorable, but it quickly got to the point where I was laughing so hard that an inside joke is simply known as “THE SQUIRREL!”

“In restless dreams I walked alone…”
I usually find myself feeling the urge to share my unsophisticated and slightly exaggerated thoughts on the internet whenever insomnia hits at 4:30 in the morning. Welcome.
I do appreciate all visits and the rare comments. -
