LIARS

(lights up on Todd sitting in a chair center stage. He stares into the audience with a blank look. He grimaces, the audience laughs. He holds up his hand and waves. The audience laughs. He stands up and puts his foot on the chair. The audience laughs. He runs through a series of unrelated gestures, including farting. The audience laughs at each. He sits back down in the chair and stares at the audience before speaking.)

Liars.

AUTHOR'S NOTES:
(not sure when I did this piece, but it was in B and there had been a long series of just comic cheap sight gage pieces over several weeks and I wasn't very happy with the direction No Shame was going, so rather than lead by example, I lashed out....but it went over pretty well, none the less....does that make it a failure?)

for dating purposes it preceeded the Who's Saving What song, I'm pretty sure.

ARCHIVIST'S NOTES:
We have know idea when this piece was performed. Todd places it before "Who's Saving What" which, as far as we can tell, might have been the first Ristau piece of fall '87. Does that mean this piece is from the spring of '87?

"LIARS" - date unknown - (possibly spring '87 (???))
Performed by Todd Ristau.
