…but we are bobbing to the surface for one moment to remind you of the following. Up at UCLA, they have a lovely theater called the Freud Playhouse (which is supposed to be pronounced "frood" but even the folks who work there don't pronounce it that way) and it's currently housing a production of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum which is getting rave reviews. It's only there 'til March 28 so if you're gonna go, go.
Each time Reprise stages a show, its 2 PM Saturday matinees are preceded at Noon by a one-hour free lecture by a noted scholar on the history of the beloved musical in question. You don't even have to attend the show to sit in on the lecture. Heck, the noted scholar doesn't even have to be a noted scholar. Tomorrow and next Saturday, the speaker is me. Something for everyone indeed.
