Laura Bush Killed a Guy...

Apparently...

I saw a play today that was literally 90 minutes of a woman doing a Laura Bush impression. This play was called Laura Bush Killed a Guy.  It was experimental to say the least.  However, as I learned over the course of the 90 minutes, she actually did kill a guy...accidentally in a car accident when she was 17.  Who knew?  Other people I suppose, because as I also learned, there was a joke in Family Guy about it, and then people who saw that episode googled the whole instance.  They googled so much, that it's the 3rd thing that pops up when you google her name - according to the fake Laura Bush in today's show anyway.

So yeah, that's how I spent my Sunday afternoon.  I have to say, it wasn't awful.  It was pretty impressive that this woman remembered everything she was supposed to say over the course of the 90 minutes, with no other actors on stage to help. There were also cookies - Laura Bush Cowboy Cookies.  Before the show we were told we could make them and bring them.  We chose not to, however others chose to make them. And as luck would have it, they were delicious!  

After about 90 minutes of fake Texas accent, and lots of sugar from the cookies, I did start to get a little antsy.  But all in all, the show was pretty great.  What was most fascinating was that the space held about 30 people.  I'm not sure how this show is supposed to make money with room enough for only 30 attendees, but I suppose in this type of show, it's just the "art" that's important.
