Today, April 12, 2012, we drove over to Cedarville University to enjoy the Neil Simon play, “Star Spangled Girl”. This play is a simple but fun comedy. I was amazed that they could do a play with only three performers and only one setting. Fortunately, there were many people behind the scenes to make this all work. It was a great play. I had already seen it a couple of weeks ago, perhaps the opening day and now we are seeing it at the end of the run. I must say, the performance was much better today. I think it is fair to say that all of our people enjoyed it.
Basically, the play featured to young men (recently out of college) and a girl (Olympic Swimmer). The guys write and publish a rightwing paper and are having trouble making ends meet. The girl was making do, working at the YMCA as a swim instructor. One of the guys falls hopelessly in love with her and does really dumb things that result in her loosing her job. So, the other guy (business manager for the paper) gives her a job and ultimately also falls hopelessly in love. I’ve grossly oversimplified the plot, so you will need to see it for yourself. I do recommend this play.
By now you know the routine, “Click on an image to see it in full size”
Following the play, we drove over to Young’s Dairy north of Yellow Springs and ate at the “Golden Jersey Inn”. We had a great meal topped off with some of the delicious Young’s Ice Cream!
