Coauthor Lori the Actress at it Again...

Well, my multi-talented coauthor, my twin sister, Lori, was at it again last night lighting up the stage at the Memories Dinner Theater in Port Washington with gusto delivering her special brand of acting during a review performance of Buying the Moose, a relationship comedy by playwright Michael Wilmont.

I know she's my sister, but seriously Lori has a remarkable talent that makes each word she speaks on stage a dramatic delight for the audience, complete with physical gestures and facial inflections bringing the lines of the play to life! Also a wonderful singer, it's as if she delivers the words with the same panache as she would the lyrics of a song...with exceptional emotional impact.

The play, Buying the Moose, was written and staged especially for the Memories Dinner Theater. Here's a summary from the Memories website:


This hilarious, tennis-match-like play brings to life the truth that wives often wonder why men do what they do, while their husbands wonder how to get away with doing what they did!

Upon arriving home from a business trip, Betty discovers her husband, Rob, awkwardly "canoodling" an inflatable doll, which is donning one of Betty's dresses. After Betty assumes the worst, and Rob's attempt at an explanation only exasperates the situation, Rob ends up "out in the cold". In dealing with the aftermath of his blunder, Rob resorts to bending the ear of, and sharing a case of beer with, his brother, Greg. Meanwhile, Betty, and Cheryl (Greg's wife) ponder Betty's shocking discovery while sharing a tub of ice cream and a glass or two...or three...of wine.

Eventually, Greg and Cheryl are pulled into the chaos and the stakes get even higher as beer, wine, accidental voice mails, a mixed up mess of "he said/she saids" and exposed secrets, tangle the proverbial web, to create a fast-paced and hilarious rumpus! As one husband's well-intentioned blunder, spins out of control, the audience is kept bouncing back and forth between the men sitting on Rob's front porch and the women on Cheryl's, resulting in a side-splitting, fast-paced and thoroughly enjoyable theatrical experience! (Please Note: Contains mild sexual references)
