Received from Hyde Park Theatre:

Next week at Hyde Park Theatre: "a jewel of a play, laugh-out-loud funny and slyly touching." Just to warm you up:

LILY: Let's have an arm wrestle.
DANNY: What?
LILY: We are about to have an arm wrestle and I call loser gets beer.
DANNY: I'm not going to have an arm wrestle.
LILY: Because you know I'll win an arm wrestle.
DANNY: You're being really stupid. And weird.
LILY: How else are we going to decide who gets the beer?
DANNY: We could flip a coin.
LILY: No. This is the only way. I call.
DANNY: You can't call something like that.
LILY: Well, too bad, I just did.
DANNY: I don't want to have an arm wrestle.
LILY: Come on! Please just have an arm wrestle with me? Dad just died.

Yes: the world premiere of Bombs in Your Mouth by Corey Patrick explodes at HPT next week.

More later, but for now: mark you calendar for next Friday, February 27, when playwright Corey Patrick will fly in, and we'll celebrate with a post-show party 'n' schmooze catered by New World Deli.
