Taking Out The Trash

It had to happen sometime. Jojo and I have been seeing a lot of theater recently and we finally encountered a clunker. I thought "Trailer Trash" would be interesting because it  was gay themed, and it was from  an independent gay and lesbian theater company but... it was one of the worst piece of trash I, anyway, have ever seen. I can't even be bothered to look up the names of the actors but they were all across the board so bad that we did the inevitable: we left after the first act. I m sure we weren't the only one, too. There was this palpable energy of exasperation fromt he audience. Inconsequential scenes dragged on,  the dialogue was childish (unintentionally) and even the nudity - Imagine! - was boring. Who ever thought that I would be so untouched by full-frontal male nudity? I wish them all well, but I am so glad we left! This is sometimes the risk one takes in going to these independent productions - they could be works in progress. Only in this case, they really need to stop working on dead wood.
