An ADULT Evening With Shel Silvertein
Fine Arts
ADULTS ONLY!!!!
The world is a richer place because Shel Silverstein (1930-1999) passed through it, leaving behind an eclectic creative archive. He wrote and illustrated a shelf full of children's books, their whimsical verses remembered long after childhood's passing (can anyone forget Mrs. Twitter the babysitter/I think she's a little bit crazy/ she thinks the babysitter suppose /to sit upon the baby?). There's also a fat discography of Shel Silverstein hit songs (if you were lucky, you might even have heard him perform some of them). Other Silverstein treasures include countless adult poems and a whole series of one-act play collections under such catchall umbrella titles as The Bag Plays, The Sign Plays and The Bathroom Plays.
Simply put, Shel Silverstein was a one-man talent factory who turned the old adage Jack of all trades but master of none on its head. Those who knew him personally, like the Atlantic Theater Company's co-founder David Mamet, loved as well as admired him.

"A blizzard strands four bus passengers overnight in a small-town diner 40 miles west of Kansas City...Bus Stop can be accurately described as a fugue whose themes are the various aspects of love...however...it's primarily a comedy whose genuine sweetness never long disguises the bleak nature of the lives it's recording. Inge was too clear-eyed to be an outright sentimentalist. He longed for happy endings, but hte ones he provided (and which soothed audiences) always left the door open for disaster."
