"Exit Laughing" by Paul Elliott
“Like ‘Golden Girls’ meets ‘Steel Magnolias,’ it relies on characters that are ‘characters.’
Old friends go away and don’t come back. Things can get difficult in the later years of life.
But wait - there’s still fun to be had, at least if you have friends as entertaining and wise as those who appear in Paul Elliott’s “EXIT LAUGHING,” the latest offering from Theatre 17.
The play concerns a foursome of female friends who have long gathered for a weekly bridge night. When one passes away, the “girls” get hold of her ashes and the game is on, albeit with one seemingly silent partner. But actually, the recently departed Mary has a lot to say. Through messages and gifts that she arranged to arrive after her death, she sets in motion a new beginning for her friends.“ (Portland Press Herald)
A winner of the American Association of Community Theatre’s NewPlayFest, EXIT LAUGHINGbroke all records for a non-musical at its premiere in Springfield Little Theatre's 50-year history. "Hysterically funny!" (News-Leader.com).
