To complete my marathon
five-show holiday theater weekend, I finally saw the legend that is
Miss Richfield 1981. Or rather, experienced. For
Miss Richfield is more than just a show, it's an interactive night of outrageous comedy! For her
17th year of performing at Illusion Theater, she shares with the audience the
Christmas Cone of Silence. Meaning a frank discussion just between her and the audience (the biggest I've seen at Illusion) about the things you're not supposed to talk about. Since I'm quite happy in my own cone of silence, I took a seat at the back of the theater where I was (barely) safe from her questions. Interactive theater is great fun, as long as I'm not the one being interacted with! Miss R is fantastic at talking to the audience, drawing people out, and making anything they say seem funny. But politically correct she's not; she's an equal opportunity offender, so be prepared to be a bit shocked at some of the things she says. But mostly, be prepared to laugh and have a good time.
