The Lincoln Community Playhouse presents a Winter Comedy Festival with “Erma Bombeck: At Wit’s End” and “Finishing School” in the Studio Theatre. The Playhouse offers a ticket discount to OLLI members to some performances.
“Erma Bombeck: At Wit’s End” is a comic look at one of our country's most beloved voices, who captured the frustrations of her generation by asking, "If life is a bowl of cherries, what am I doing in the pits?" Discover the story behind the great American humorist who championed women's lives with wit that sprang from the most unexpected place of all - the truth.
In “Finishing School,” the oldest resident of an upscale assisted living facility befriends one of the youngest residents and they meet for a daily ritual: reading obits. Wizzer gives Al helpful advice about life among the elders: "Never get between old people and a grocery store sheet cake. You will pull back a nub." Their days get interesting when two women shake up the dynamic between Al and Wizzer.
