I had to laugh when I transposed my eight-year-old face onto a painting of Penelope recently. The result is a bit creepy but comical. When I was small and got into giggly fits, mom would sometimes say,"if you laugh too much, you'll cry later". I have shed tears of sadness and joy but in the end laughter was a healing balm on stormy days.
We were all smiles Sunday at a stage performance of
Whose Life Anyway at the River Rock Casino Resort in Richmond. Pictures were not permitted during this offshoot of the long-running improvisational comedy television show
Whose Line Is It Anyway. Before the event began, I took photos of the stage and surrounding area. It can sometimes seem as if we are all mere pixels stuck on some grand disco ball.
Improv is spontaneous silliness by quick-witted performers in a roomful of people who want their imaginations tickled. Our common goal was to focus on the sunny/zany side of life and briefly forget what concerns us by bursting into gales of laughter instead.
