Overheard at Angus: Volume IV
There I sat at a local theater watering hole, pondering my Tony picks, when I noticed a pretty high-powered agent and a pretty high powered Producer, sitting down to share a drink and some dirt.
The Producer was off to see a play. The agent had seen it. And . . . scene:
Agent: Oh yeah? I saw it last week.
Producer: Any good?
Agent: The performances are excellent.
Producer: Oh.
Agent: What?
Producer: You ever been set up on a blind date?
Agent: Sure.
Producer: I asked you if you thought the show was any good. You told me the the performances were excellent.
Agent: So?
Producer: That's like saying someone has a good personality when I ask what they look like.
And . . . scene.
