A Grave Mistake

A Little Bit Off—John Hirsch Mainstage

This was opening night, and sometimes you can expect some glitches with the first show. True here, there were some minor costume issues, some major prop issues, and some severe rehearsal issues—they clearly were not ready but they managed to save the show. Towards the end, it seemed like they gave up trying to put together a tight performance and went down the slapstick trail instead. That’s fine because it was still a good (GREAT) time.

There were some outright hilarious moments that caught me in tears laughing (and I’m not an easy amuser). The baby ghost scene was one of the funniest things I’d seen in a long time.

Some skits seemed rather fractured from the main story, and they didn’t feel like they belong in the plot. Even as outcasts, those scenes entertained amusingly.

Because the audience got to choose the course of several events, some of the skits remained unseen to us. I’m curious enough to see the scenes I missed; I have every faith that they would be just as much fun. It was a howling good time.
