Plays, some of my favorite things

For our anniversary Russ took me to see a play. I love everything about live theater, the seats, the sounds, the costumes, the energy.
 What I enjoy the most is the mistakes. There's nothing quite so fun as watching the clever way that the actors recover if they forget a line, trip on stage, or if the prop door doesn't open. I don't know if I could be so skillful. I'm afraid that I would probably burst into laughter. That tends to be my operating mode when I'm embarrassed.
 Witness someone trip and fall on their face? I'm there holding my sides. 
Enduring a class for continuing ed credits? Some remark made by the instructor will be misconstrued by me and I'll be hiding a smile. 
Let's just say that there are some of my co-workers that refuse to sit by me during lectures. They don't want to end up laughing.
 And me? I'm looking for a mistake. There must be one. On any given day, I make several.
