An audience member (about 9 years old) suggested "The Toilet" as a title. Laura Valpey created a wonderful situation, a homeless woman living in a subway bathroom, where her only friend is the toilet (played by Mike Durkin). The girl playing the old woman studies improv with us at PS321. Her portayal was terrific, nuanced, she moved the story along. The boy played a tranist cop, who demanded that the woman clear out of the bathroom. Then he fell on the subway tracks! After the homeless woman recues him, he comes up with closing line we'll all remember. "You saved my life. You can sit on the toitlet as long as you want to."
