Cleetus Ferbderbler, Boy Improvisor Sadly Announces Schism in THE THEATRE.

"Dear Everyone,

  On the advice of my attorney, Tom King Clear, I will not use names in the following heartbreaking narrative.

  After our first rehearsal of our new theatre collective, THE THEATRE, one of the ensemble members came up to me with a face like a thundercloud.

  "Cleetus, " she seethed, in a seething kind of voice, "I can't believe we just spent seven hours doing theater games..."
  "I know!" I chortled.  "Wasn't it great?  No one has ever committed this fully to a production of Arsenic and Old Lace."
  "Exactly.  It was insane.   Four of us are going to quit the collective and form our own, THE NEW THEATRE."

  I writhed.  I gnashed my teeth.  Was this how Bertolt Brecht was treated?  Shakespeare?  The guy who wrote RENT, before he died?

  Stay tuned!
