Is anybody out there?

Last night Marilyn, Meg and I went to see the 1812 production of "In Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe" First we had dinner at the Caribou Cafe it's a nice bistro type of restaurant. Good food great service a good pre-theater stop. The play was in a small third floor theater in the Walnut. Its a one woman play that Lilly Tomlin won a Tony award for in the 80's. The actress, Jennifer Childs, does a great job with all of the characters. The play revolves around a bag lady who can "look in" other peoples lives. Mostly those lives are completely dysfunctional and somewhat interconnected. It has some laughs but some sections were just too long. But on the whole a pretty good night out.
