A snort.
That’s really what it was.
A big, loud, wet, inward snort, and suddenly the end of that slippery white condom she had been showcasing for the past 20 minutes shot up into her nasal passage like a lubricious booger from hell. Reaching deep into her mouth with her ‘pincher’ fingers, she dragged it from the pit of her throat to where we all could see it, and using her other hand to grasp the end that was still sticking out of her nose, she flossed her tonsils, peering at us sideways, as an immensely satisfied smile spread across her widely parted lips.

As a result, Neil Simon’s “Brighton Beach Memoirs,” a more family-oriented play, will open at Dibden Feb. 14 for a three-night run.
“We like to have a show that is funny and family-oriented,” Longtin said. “Simon is one of my favorite playwrights. This show is simple and resonates to every person watching it. The show is about a Jewish family living in Brighton Beach, N.Y., before World War II and trying to make ends meet, survive and keep relationships together,” Longtin says.
“Fred Claus” is an unusual treatment of the Santa story, which is saying something considering how many times it’s been worked over for film, music, literature, television, radio, and Coca-Cola commercials. Fred Claus is the story of Santa’s older brother, who has to deal with being second best. Although, as the narrator explains early in the story, saints and their family members stop aging, the benefits end there for Fred Claus.
Portrayed by Vince Vaughn, Fred is a fast-talking urbanite trying to get enough money together to open up a casino while simultaneously trying to hang on to Wanda (Rachel Weisz), his girlfriend, who is rapidly losing patience with him. Since the real estate agent can only hold his dream property for a limited amount of time, Fred dresses up as Santa to raise money on the street. This works right up until the other Santas realize that he doesn’t have the required paperwork and chase him all over the city, culminating in a smack down in a toy store.
