Theater of the Relatively Talentless Delights and Amuses

Friday night Amy and I went to see our friend Firooz's play at the U of M Law School. He's a member of their theater group, T.O.R.T. (Theater of the Relatively Talentless). The play--a musical called "West Bank Story"--was awesome. It was fully choreographed, they had a live orchestra, and they wrote it themselves. I was so impressed, and laughed my butt off. The show pitted the corporate SHARKS against the PILS (Public Interest Law Students). Those rival factions were vying to take over the school after the Dean left. The stereotypes and costumes were dead-on, and so hilarious. They also had cameo appearances by MN Supreme Court Justices, and Attorney General Mike Hatch. Good times. After the show, we stopped by Summ's house for a birthday party she was throwing for her roommate. It was a great night. And oh! We finally checked out my sister Greta's favorite bar, Sporty's (Sportsman's Grill) (on Como). Amy and I went there before the show for 2-for-1 PBRs and big fat burgers. They have $1.50 pitchers of PBR on Monday nights. That Greta, she's so classy.

What a deal! So is the production done by law students? Georgetown has a theater troup that does productions. Where in the hell do they find the time to be in a play while going to law school?

Glad you enjoyed the show (even though my part was so small, you wouldn't have noticed if someone else played it).

Firooz was awesome. I have caught myself singing "No 1L, No Cry" since I first heard him sing it at rehearsals.
