In April a group from Mini-School took a trip downtown to see a show entitled “Sex, Pies, and Video Games” at the Dudley Riggs theatre.
Our group of fourteen included, Derek Benson, Heath Holste, Freddie Johnson, Shane Muensch, Autumn Murphy, Leibe North, Amber Nustad, Troy Odean, Rob Stundahl, Suzanne Ward, Doug, Randy, Lester, and Dawn.
The performance was based on many short skits that combined humor and satire into one terrific performance. The entire cast consisted only of 6 members, but each of then was extremely talented.
One particularly funny skit depicted a kindergarten teacher and her 3 students on the first day of school. The skit gave a little background on the students; one boy always imagined the worst because of his parents’ paranoia of life. Another was just a rather quiet, sweet boy. The third was a little girl from a farm. Through the skit, we saw how all three of them viewed life and in the end, they all learned to relax and have a little fun. The one thing that really stood out in this skit was how they portrayed the children. They really did a wonderful job.
This show really is something to see. The price isn’t too steep, the acting is really good, and it really is hilariously funny. It’s a good time.
