“Laughter is the language of the soul” suggests that laughter is a universal way to connect with others on a profound level, revealing something intrinsic about our being. But how much laughter are you getting?
The stress of the election, holidays, and just everyday stress. It’s enough to bring anyone down. That’s why you need to get out and get some good, full, gut-busting laughs. Entertainment is fun; it’s a chance for you to connect with the actors and relive the craziness that this life has thrown at us. What you and your soul needs is “Comedy Tonight.”
Paradise Players has been working on a series of short plays designed to be quick, short, and oh-so funny.
We bought the rights to each one of these professionally written plays that will be using very talented actors and actresses. This will be the recipe for the laughter that we all need to start 2025.
The play, called “Comedy Tonight,” will be on Sunday, Jan. 5, at 2 and 5 p.m. Here is a quick highlight of the skits.
“Joggin’ Along” by Dory Kaiser: Comedy sketches involving two single women in exercise gear who jog on stage and pause long enough to talk about what’s going on in their lives. Nothing is sacred as they discuss life with upbeat messages for seniors that they can relate to, laugh, and enjoy.
“Now Hear This” by Dory Kaiser: A fast-paced comedy in which six characters on a cruise ship continuously misinterpret past messages, similar to the old telephone game. A sure hit for everyone to enjoy.
“Gin & Tonic” by John Clifford: This laugh-out-loud comedy offers a fresh look at the problems of senior dating. And even if you’re not in the dating scene, it will bring you to your knees.
“Head or Feet First” by Douglas Campbell: This zany 1940s-style mystery farce is sure to keep you laughing hysterically!
But wait! There’s more! Also, in Paradise Players’ super entertainment fashion, there will be a musical number for “Comedy Tonight” with several solos and dancing.
These performances will be all the talk for days and months until, of course, the next “Platinum Girls” comes back to the stage in late spring.
Don’t have your tickets to “Comedy Tonight” yet? It’s not a problem; there will be ticket sales at the door.
