Last night, I attended Abingdon Theatre’s collection of ten minute plays, called Moral Dilemma Comedies. My sister, Bara Swain, co-produced and wrote one of the pieces, and I laughed my head off.

“Spiritual Counseling”, by Jack Rushen, was a wonderfully quirky piece with my favorite star of the evening, Peter Brouwer, playing a randy man of the cloth which had me, please forgive me, in stitches. He was uproariously funny.

My sister’s piece had a terrific new actress named Danielle Bourgeois playing the part of ditzy Sheila, who did a little dance that was priceless. Bara’s work always makes me laugh. And this time, I wasn’t in it because there were no females wearing red lipstick and heels.

Will Arbery’s “A Burial” was a piece in the not so distant future about a dead man in a cubicle who goes unnoticed by his co-workers. Loved it, too.

But when the lights went on, I couldn’t help noticing in my own superficial way that most of the audience was having a bad hair day.

Which begs the question: does going to off Broadway theatre mean going gray, as well?

My name was fished out of the hat as the raffle winner by an elegant blonde who had wonderful hair, although choosing me made the raffle look downright rigged.

Don’t get me wrong. The Abingdon is giving gifted playwrights a home, and I LOVED every minute of it. And I will use my newly one subscription to the theatre, and check out the plight of the audience’s hair at intermission. So Bravo, Abingdon and bravo their talent! Go. You won’t be sorry.
