51. Thats funny. She is right ,there are a lot of plays but this is the one
the director picked. I think because of how difficult it is to perform right. He knew it was performed in West Linn (on the west side of Oregon near Portland) and they didn't have any problems. Though their budget allows 5 plays(they always perform a kid one too) and ours only two plays.
