**My favorite play is What's on TV? I had the cast sit at a table. I had made large signs for each person’s television show: a cooking show, pet show, Dr. Phil-like show, and a gardening show. We used a clicker to help actors with their timing. The clicker I first used didn't work. When I told my son about the problem, he sent me 20 frog clickers for when we stage the show again. The cast did a beautiful job of timing. It was a hoot! I love all the plays in my list, but this one was exceptional.
