No, it's not just because the tickets were free.

Working yesterday and today on a bid project, coupled with rehearsals, has prevented me from appropriately commenting on the trip to see Take Me Out at Playhouse on the Square last Friday night (one of the comped performances for doing Fiddler). That's wrong of me, as the show is fantastic--the best thing I've ever seen at Playhouse. Really the only weak thing about the show is ties up the story threads separately which gives the impression that the show's ending about three times, instead of once, but that's not a fault of the production, and I'm not sure how (save leaving a storyline hanging) it could have been done better. Still, it's noticable; more so since one character's epilogue is expressed by the narrarator a couple of scenes before last one.

Still, great show. Baseball tends to inspire philosophical discourse more than any other sport, especially in movies featuring Kevin Costner, and Take Me Out is no exception.
