"Laughing wild amid severest woe."

-Holly Riggs line from Laughing Wild

tonight i was so proud of two of my closest friends. i was blown away by their production of Christopher Durang's Laughing Wild. it was the first time i would have the experience to see them do what do in the theatre world. and i must say, they do it so well.

if anyone should get the chance to see this production or the play done somewhere else it is a must see. the story follows two people exploring life,sex and death. holly played a woman who is mentally unstable and on her quest to be heard, seen and wanted while attempting to buy tuna fish. tod caviness plays a character who searches for positivity amist his obsessive negative thinking. i must mention that this is a comedy. it was also blatantly true and real.

holly does a scene where she screams how she wishes she was dead. that scene was all too real to me. it made me see how we all have these moments that just feel like they are unraveling with each second and you are desperately attempting to hold on. this play touched me greatly.

holly is my shining starbanana.
