The Importance of Being Earnest at Taproot

Listen. My wife always gets these preview subscriptions and makes me go. She’s a Northwestern theater grad, and I am but a simple knucklehead.

We saw The Importance of Being Earnest tonight and I laughed like a complete jackass the entire time. I genuinely enjoyed it.

Now here’s the thing. My wife being the high-faultin’ theater major NEVER gives a standing ovation. She’s honestly like unless she’s profoundly moved, she never does it. And I stand by her, which has led to many awkward moments over the years.

Tonight I had so much fun and enjoyed it so much that I decided when everyone else gave a standing ovation, I was gonna break ranks with my wife and do it. I’ll be goddamned if nobody stood up and I chickened out. It was like some kind of perverse cosmic sicko reverse burn.

I’m totally going to go back and see it again just to give them the standing ovation they deserved. I super enjoyed it. Totally worth it. Laughed my ass off, not even kidding.
