Mayor Ron Jones is the main course for Saturday's Garland Summer Musicals Guild Roast, the subject of Ron's Rules of Order or Dancing With the Mayor. It is the community's (almost) annual opportunity to accentuate every faux pas, blooper, and comedic calamity that may have been observed or conjectured from the past year or, indeed, lifetime.
Of course, it's not just the Mayor on the spit and in the spotlight, it's all Council members and other community leaders. There is rumor that an Athas alter-ego may have to walk near the roasting pit.
I've also heard that Robert Wunderlich, transportation director and staff extrovert-extraordinaire, may have an extensive role. Besides the risk of extemporaneous interjections, I'm sure his usual efforts and antics will be sufficient to keep the audience in convulsive, giddy pain.
All rumors. As I can't sing, dance, or belch eloquently, I wasn't invited to sit through the multiple rehearsals and pre-show reviews and, therefore, cannot do more than just spread rumors.
We do know that all ticket sales are to support the Garland Summer Musicals and so it is therefore all for a good cause. And, we know tickets are available at 972-205-2790.
