A Gem of a Play

Eight of us went to the Gem Theatre (Don & Marietta, Bill & Patti, Carol & her brother Curt, us) Wednesday.  Had dinner there at the Century Grill--food was great though the service was not. 

In Say Goodnight, Gracie George Burns recounts his life from his early days in a small tenement in New York City through his final days when he had to cancel a performance in Las Vagas on his 100th birthday due to illness.  His early days in Vaudeville. meeting and becoming great friends with Jack Benny, marrying Gracie Allen, rising in popularity radio and television, having children, Gracie's early retirement, losing Gracie and later Jack, and his final days.  This was a fine one-man performance that used pictures and video and sound recordings to add authenticity and emphasis.
