Robert, who plays Pish-Tush, has a fart machine. This is no dime store whoopee cushion, but a very realistic sounding collection of farts, 7 or 8 in all, that comes with a remote so that you don't even have to be in the room to release a fart from the carefully placed speaker. He's had this thing since early on in rehearsals and it has NEVER stopped being funny. You'd think that once you knew it was machine you'd stop laughing, but no. Every night in the dressing room, we all turn in to a bunch of giggling 10 year olds.
The only person who didn't know it was a fart machine was the on-stage sound tech., a sweet but too innocent kid who's doing this gig for high-school credit. He was simply convinced that Robert had one of the worst cases of gastrointestinal distress ever known to man. Which, of course, we all found HILARIOUS !
It just proves the point that everything you need to know, you really did learn in kindergarten:
-Cookies & milk and a nap makes you feel better
-Anything is more fun naked
-Farting is funny.
Go ahead, .... you know you want to.

No farts were audible from the 12th row last night, just a loud man talking to his wife about how clever the lighting was during "The Sun Whose Rays". Your performance was very entertaining, although the old timers around me failed to pick up on the Flintstones reference. Bravo!
