Timing was excellent as the laughs pour out in rapid with sometimes sex slanted one liners. Fred Forsman’s drunk scene with sonin-law George Kerley showed professional skill by both actors. Mary Waggoner, the stork flustered mother remained in delightful character for two hours in a sensitive performance. Nancy Brooks, as the sex starved young wife, contributed much theatrical presence to a demanding role. Supporting roles of Marge Bozarth and Barney Bonivert were effective and appreciated. Marge Bozarth wore beautiful color-toned dresses in wardrobe changes. Cameo performances by Ace Emmerling, Ken Dolan and Richard Hackett rounded out the efforts of the well trained cast, wanting to please an audience that wanted to laugh and were not disappointed. The single set design by Gil Duarte was most satisfactory. The use of blue walls made the lighting by Mark Somars complimentary and effective. Off stage sound effects by Lou Isselin had perfect timing and realism. The infectous laughter and applause of real life Nancy Brooks husband Wally in the audience was a bonus to the enthusiastic audience.
