In Rehearsal for the Last Act
How many of you have had a wedding rehearsal? One last chance to argue about who comes in from the left and who from the right. One last opportunity to size up the machutunim.
Well, the big day is approaching for Just Married! The exhibit takes its final vows on September 17th. But before it goes off to wherever exhibits honeymoon, we have one final performance to share. I know this not only because it’s on the JMM calendar, but also because I caught a snippet of the rehearsal for Stoop Story on Sunday. If the bit I saw is indicative of the whole show, I think we have a real treat in store for you.
You won’t want to wait until the last minute to get tickets. Seating is limited and everyone (including members) will need a ticket.
Hope to see you there.
