Also Lady with a Lapdog, Jokes and a Happy Ending is superb entertainment. You will be rewarded with an introduction to Russian literature and theater, a talented and enthusiastic cast, an evening that leaves one with a light hearted message to ponder. In short story fashion there is a central storyline around which the author weaves the story of The Lady (with the lapdog), a male suitor–both married but not to each other. A series of humorous and entertaining “Jokes”. Of course there is a Happy Ending, but–a surprise not as expected–it’s a short story! An ending that will reward the audience with a perspective on life that stirs deeper contemplation–an added bonus to the excellent professional talent of the cast. All cast members provide an engaging and entertaining performance. The following cast members deserve special recognition in my opinion: Roman Freud, Michael Dona, Luisa Menzen, and Lana Stimmler. Don’t miss this show-you leave thinking life is beautiful.... Read more Read less
