Meanwhile, in the Lobby

by Michael Aman

A short play about what the ushers are up to in the lobby as the play is performed. Eunice, Terrence and Walter are volunteer ushers of a certain age with a number of hangups. Eunice pops in the bathroom regularly to snort coke. Walter spies on the performance that has cast one of the former ushers, hoping he fails. And Terrence tries to keep everyone on track while quoting Shakespeare.

    "Amateurs! Amateurs! I'm surrounded by amateurs!" I thought that was Noel Coward but apparently it was Cruella de Vil. Anyway, it's that sprit that pervades, fuels, and elevates this front-of-house farce populated with delightful characters you will recognize from your own life in the thea-tah! Jealousy, insecurity, and schadenfreude abound! Amen fills the play with delightful details amidst banter that pops! There are even a couple doors to slam but please don't! There's a show going on!
