| Susan Haefner in Bad Dates |
We've been fans of Susan's since we worked with her in 2008 on our musical Disappeared, and it was so wonderful to get to see her in full-force in this sweet one-woman show by Theresa Rebeck about a divorced mother putting her life back together through a series of disastrous dates (and quite a few pairs of shoes.) She gave such a charming and dynamic performance, and it had the audience almost literally rolling on the ground. (There were truly a few women I thought might fall out of their chairs at a few points.)
Aside from the joy of watching Susan for almost 2 hours, we also got to see the truly magnificent set designed by our housemate up here in Weston, Jim Sandefur. The combination of Roy Lichtenstein paintings and a seemingly endless parade of shoes (mostly red) painted on the walls, on the shelves, and even in chair form were really, truly delightful. We miss him at Goodwin house!
You're still able to catch Bad Dates through September 9th. As I said before on here, you can catch a double header of it with Pregnancy Pact on the Wednesday or Saturdays of our run!
(Side note: We heard a story about a group of people who left the show at intermission a few nights ago because they thought it was too risque... Let's hope they heed the warning of strong language and sexual content and steer clear of our show!)
