I’ve had Fridays off all summer. I’m off today, too, actually, but I thought I’d break my seasonal silence to tell you about an experience I had last Friday that was worth “working” on my day off.

It’s no secret that I’m a fan of the equity-actor productions at the Chenango River Theatre in Greene, so when Bill Lelbach offered me a ticket to see the opening night of their current show, “Last of the Boys” (which he’s also directing), I jumped at it – even though it was on a Friday, and I’m generally averse to doing anything that requires me to think or act even semi-professionally on my day off.

But go to Greene I did. Am I happy I did? Well ... “happy” isn’t the word I’d use to describe my experience with “Last of the Boys.” In fact, by the time I was in my car on that long ride back to Norwich, I was pretty out of sorts.
