The Book of Liz | Seaside REP Mainstage Comedy by David & Amy Sedaris
Tickets: $24 Guests / $20 Members / $27 At the Door
By the Talent Family (David & Amy Sedaris)
Directed by Craige Hoover
Sister Elizabeth Donderstock is Squeamish, has been her whole life. She makes cheese balls (traditional and smoky) that sustain the existence of her entire religious community, Clusterhaven. However, she feels unappreciated among her Squeamish brethren, and she decides to try her luck in the outside world. In this hilarious satire from the Talent Family, David and Amy Sedaris, no comic nugget goes un-mined, and no funny-butter goes unchurned.

I am ready for this one - it will be a blast I'm sure!
Here's a review I found but I edited out the middle so as not to be a spoiler.
Quote:
It's a fairly simple recipe, really, but the ingredients are mighty hard to find: Take one of the funniest satirists around and combine him, synergistically, with his equally funny sister -- who is also a masterful clown, someone with the je ne sais qua of, say, Lucille Ball. Coax them to write a play. Add the satirist's boyfriend (who presumably understands the particular cadence of his humor as well or better than anyone else), and ask him not only to direct but also to design an especially sympatico set. Put the sister onstage with the best trio of sketch comedians money can't buy. Shake and bake.
That's the essence of The Book of Liz. David and Amy Sedaris, a.k.a. The Talent Family, have written 75 brilliant minutes of hysterical theater .... Comedy doesn't get much better than this.
.......
....Fans of David's books will find the keen wit that makes them so appealing in abundance; lovers of Amy's "Strangers With Candy" will be equally satisfied. (I love both.)

David and Amy Sedaris are always a good time. I have seen lots of people carrying around Sedaris' bestseller When You are Engulfed in Flames this summer.One gal told me that everyone stares at her when she is reading at the beach- lots of spontaneously erupting giggles.
I wish I had grown up as a member of The Talent Family!

Sorry, Toots. It's real. We went swimming today and he had to braid it and wrap it up over his head like Heidi so that me and Cowboy didn't get caught in it like an old fishing net.

It was a full house of fun- lots of great members in the audience, and the show was hilarious. I am so tired from laughing that I have to go to bed.
The members reception was fun- Great to see you Dunelaker! And your sweet other half too.  Being a Rep member has some great benefits- fun shows, good opening night gatherings, and being with your friends and meeting new ones!
Thanks everyone for supporting the Rep and the arts!

It was hanging from his chin--it's dark this year instead of green. (We had great fun with Cowboy, pretending it was "sea snot!")

Last night's performance was excellent! It is difficult to believe that those four actors could play so many characters so well. This show is a must-see!

It's a hilarious show! And it's really cool to see the actors play various parts - you actually forget it's the same 4 on a couple switches.
The cheese ball pillow alone is worth the admission price for any OMB fan!

I see a small cottage industry rising out of that pillow. A cheese ball pillow merch table. I glanced at a Joanne Fabirc store in P-cola this morning, and thought "I know I need something in there, but can't remember what!"
I needed the pom poms. Tragically, I can't thread a needle, but Bdarg has skillz.
