Today’s Happen is unashamedly about the DW Family because if you know us, you know we have no pride when it comes to being proud of the Inner Sanctum.

Miles is the newest member of the gang and is 1 today. One year old. One trip around the sun. He has not reported to work at the DW offices yet — Kids: what are you gonna do, right? — but as soon as he can walk we’ll teach him how to make coffee and run the copy machine.

An older member of the staff, Casey, is part of the talented and hard-working cast that will perform a two-act play by comedian Lewis Black, One Slight Hitch, opening Thursday night (Nov. 29) at Shreveport Little Theatre at 7:30. The play is set in the early 1980s so I’ve had to loan Casey a navy bandanna and my mullet that had been in storage.

The plot involves a girl about to get married and her anxious mom and her wacky sisters and dad and nice, well-groomed and up-to-snuff fiance and of course everything is perfect on the wedding day until the doorbell rings and it’s the bride’s old boyfriend. Hilarity ensues. Casey tells me it is comedy for the whole family, “depending on what kind of family you have.” (Actors know how to cover their tracks.)

ShreveportLittleTheatre.com has more info, but I can tell you the dates are Nov. 29, 30, Dec. 1, Dec. 7 and Dec. 8 at 7:30 and Sunday matinees at 2 on Dec. 2 and Dec. 9. Tickets are $20 and $22.

We will of course have a flattering review in an upcoming Daily Happen. If we can get Miles to get off his butt and write it.
