I got a huge "adults only" laugh out of The Bridesmaid by Keira McDonald. I usually poll performers who approach me with their flyers about whether their show is acceptable for teens. Keira McDonald descibed her character, Hope, as "a trashy b*tch" and then whispered the details of some of the language and suggestive scenes to me. I agreed with her that the Bethany girls should probably stay home from that one, but that didn't stop Natasha and I from attending!!!

Keira's monologues about weddings from hell are extremely funny, and so are the "wedding video" clips that play while she is changing from one hideous dress to another:



Top quote from this play?

"Bride's maid" is right, because she's been working me like a Mexican without a green card!!!


I told Natasha that Hope reminded me of one of my friends. When I wrote to that friend to recommend the play, she replied, "You dirty whore! You should have called me!". No wonder I saw some similarities!!!

If you're looking for comedy for all ages, you can find it at The Medicine Show. This a showcase of everything from magic tricks and corny jokes to The Dance of the Seven Veils, meant to sell a "miracle E-lixer" which bears a striking resemblance to bottled water. I sent the girls to this one, and they enjoyed it. Stay out of the front row if you don't want to get commented on or licked!
