Letter to the Editor
‘My Friend Irma’ a first-rate production, says writer Dear Editor: Kudos to The Bank Theatre on their first open-tothe-public show in a long time, ‘My Friend Irma’, last week. Allison Still did a super job of acting and also directing an exceptionally talented cast, including the ‘on-stage’ music and hilarious sounds effects. This version of Irma’s story was well presented and kept you laughing throughout. From entrance to exiting, The Bank Theatre handled things first rate. Greeted by Michelle,
we were then registered, checked, COVID-19 tested and personally ushered to our pre-marked, well-distanced seats. Exit instructions were then given to aid in proper distancing. A new episode of ‘My Friend Irma’ stories is
scheduled for October 2224 and we would encourage you to attend. You will enjoy a talented cast, along with light-hearted and humorous entertainment, which is just what we need now. Bravo! Richard and Dorothy Poisson
