SHOP TALK
An actress and an actor got married and spent their honeymoon at a fashionable summer resort. Upon their return the new husband treated his friends to a round of drinks and reported of their holiday:
“We arrived in the early afternoon and immediately, without even bothering to unpack, held two performances. Then we washed up, went to dinner, came back to our room and had two more performances. Later at night we went down to the bar, had a few whiskies on the rocks and before falling asleep, had another performance, followed immediately by a dress-rehearsal.”
One of his companions - clearly someone not familiar with the theatrical lingo - interjected:
“What is the difference between a performance and a dress-rehearsal?”
“A dress-rehearsal is the same as a performance, only nobody comes.”
