Nice People Dancing To Good Country Music
We ventured to the Southwest Theatre to see "Nice People Dancing
to Good Country Music." This small community theatre is located off
a main street in Houston in a rather ageing strip mall. The
character of the establishment as well as the character of those
running it were every bit as wonderful as the characters portrayed in
the play.
We also took time to visit the Sam Houston Statue in Huntsville,
Texas. Of course, Brent had to take time to climb on it.
Play Overview
Eve Wilfong, who lives over the "Nice People Dancing To Good
Country Music Bar," is paid a visit by her niece Catherine
Empanger, a novice nun who's been asked to leave her convent. It
seems Catherine suffers from a curious compulsion to yell
obscenities at the wrong moment and even, on occasion, bark like
a dog...
Roy, an honest if simple fellow from the bar downstairs, wants to
court Catherine whether she's a nun or not. Eve feels she should
give her niece the benefit of her experiences with men before
allowing her to venture back into the mad modern country world.
What follows is not simply comic and well-observed, but romantic
and affecting as well.
