At Wit's End - Towle Theater

"At Wit's End"

By Margaret Engel, Allison Engel

Presented through special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc.

Sometimes an idiom can explain the predicament or the place you are in for that point in time. Though "At Wit's End" may mean something to you before you see the play, you may more likely put the emphasis on Wit of Erma Bombeck.

Laura MacGregor performs superbly as Erma Bombeck. Her gestures, pauses, presence sets each moment in Erma Bombeck's life. You leave feeling you truly understood Erma.

If you do not know who Erma Bombeck was, you should take the time to find out. You will find an everyday housewife who speaks the true and obvious of being a housewife. Sort of the untold, but known story that seemed perhaps a bit taboo to bring up in conversation. You have to admit, there is a lot of housewife material to write about.

Here are some photographs for you to enjoy. The first photograph I took because it caught my attention to the very first musical I photograph which happened to be at the Towle Theater; "Ordinary Days".

If the pen does not work, use the lip stick . . .

The Unstoppables - mini size

My bride and I went out for some good energy this night, and met up with these three great people who enjoy playing music to us. Not being a musician myself, I can only surmise that being a musician chills you out from the stress of the day. Blocking out any bad vibe of the day or week, and re-energizing with the positive new vibe from not only through play of music, but also the positive reaction from the crowd.

For some of us like me, I go to see musicians play for that same reason, to renew my positive vibration so that I can do the same for you through my blogs.

Tonight felt like I was sitting with my high-school friends (1971-1975) listening to records, discussing what we wanted out of life, using the influence of word and rhythm of the song to motivate us to a higher plain. Sometimes only a low key simple song was needed. Sometimes a powerful grab you by the balls was needed. Either way, the trio gave it to me (us) the way I remembered it to be. Thanks Guys!
