Three More Performances

Dear Diary,

Oh, there are only have three performances left of READAPTATION. Are you sad? I am because so many of my friends haven't seen you yet. I know that a lot of my friends are lazy on Sundays. I don't get it - if Sundays are as easy as The Commodores song, then why haven't my friends come to see it yet?

Forget about them? No way, diary. I will not give up on my friends. In fact, I am going to add a performance, a Thursday performance, so that everybody who can't (or won't) come see it on Sundays have an opportunity on THURSDAY, AUGUST 19TH @ 8:00 PM.

Yes, I know that Michael Rex can't make the 19th and 22nd and Jen can't make the 19th, but we found two talented actors to understudy the roles. Yes, Diary, this is very exciting because those who have already seen it can come back to see it with an almost brand new cast (in fact, I hope that those who have seen you helps me spread the word). Who knows what may happen!
Diary, don't let me get you down that most of my friends haven't come to see the show yet. They will. Maybe some of my good friends will even come back to see it again (or in some cases, a third time!) But they need to know that we may sell out on closing night so all of them should spread out their attendance over the next four performances because in the end, the theatre may not have enough space to accommodate the stragglers.

Oh Diary, what makes READAPTATION so great? Let me count the ways:
The cast is strong.
The writing is "incredibly intelligent."
D.W. Sweet as Elvis/Audrey Hepburn is sooooooo dreamy!
According to the review, it is "HILARIOUS!"
All the critics agree: The final dance sequence is worth the price of admission.
It may have found the perfect balance between post(no hyphen)modernism and modernism.

Diary, do you need to be reminded of the remaining performances?
