\nRadio, I miss you so<\/em><\/p>\n

The flagship\u2019s radio show dinner theatre performance is always\u2026less of a performance and more of a well-controlled chaotic circus. In the best possible sense.<\/p>\n

Yes, the OCD-actress in me sometimes has a hard time with it, because I can\u2019t take scripts of any kind lightly, doesn\u2019t matter if you hand me a farce or a tragedy, I\u2019m going to take it seriously \u2013 because we\u2019re there to make the audience<\/em> laugh not to laugh ourselves. BUT that said\u2026I am willing to admit that my own weirdnesses aside, a fantastic time is always had by all.<\/p>\n

I was lucky enough to be part of the original radio show cast years ago when the CD on board first created it. It started out small and relatively humble, and has since grown to a confidently hilarious two and a half hour three act madhouse that makes only the thinnest amount of sense. The more craziness gets added to the script every season, the more the guests love it.<\/p>\n

Of course the fact that the dinner comes with free wine probably does help the craziness go down just a bit easier!<\/p>\n

This time around, I reprised the role I played the very first time \u2013 a petulant love-struck honeybee named Tulipet who is hopeless in love with a wasp. Ye-ah, Shakespeare has nothing on us!\u00a0 Naturally the honey-dipped love affair does not end any better than the original Romeo and Juliet, but at least we get<\/em> there in a much more amusing over-the-top way.<\/p>\n

By the middle of the third act we\u2019d gone rather hilariously off the rails. Enough lines were being made up that it was impossible to keep track of where the cues used to be, and the guests were throwing in their own lines on top of that.<\/p>\n

A throw-back to true radio days perhaps it is not, but never the less , a good time was definitely had by all \u2013 and it always feels good to be back behind a character again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
