I recently attended a community theater play that we had seen before in a different
theater. The portrayals were outstanding. We knew the director and his parents. The
director himself had one of the lead roles and did a superb job. The play features a
dramatic ending with lots of bells and whistles. They worked effectively the first time we
saw the play, but this time the bells and whistles never happened. The sound crew
somehow failed to provide them. I went backstage with the director's father to
congratulate the cast on an otherwise truly fine performance.
