 If “music is the food of love,” then Florence Foster Jenkins is the surprise dessert. SOUVENIR, a Fantasia on the Life of Florence Foster Jenkins by Stephen Temperley, opening for previews on June 6 at the Kitchen Theatre Company, is a hilarious, loving and moving tribute to a woman who followed her dreams no matter how misguided.
Born in 1868, real-life Ms. Jenkins always wanted to study music. But not until the death of her wealthy parents, who disapproved of her stage desires, was she able to pursue her passion to become a great soprano. Her goals were worthy, her voice was not. But even lacking musicianship, ear, voice, and rhythm, she was not deterred. She engaged the talented accompanist, Cosme McMoon, and then attempted to scale the concert heights, including a Carnegie Hall recital.

 SMART TALK
by Dr. Manda Rynne
THE MONTH OF MAY: Why do so
many think they need to tell us that May is a month? The Institute for the Linguistically Impaired officially calls
these ninnies temporal retentives. Of
course, we call them ninnies only in the privacy of the Fowler Lounge, after a
stressful week a couple of rounds.
Never in public. Never. It might insult the poor things.
Temporal retentives are the
ones who tell us that a date is a date, with memos that say Date: May 9, 2008. They are the politicos who pontificate about
the opposing party's benighted policies during the decade of the nineties.
And they can't say 2008. It has to be the year 2008.
Thanks for all the help.
Please support the Edwin
Newman Clinic in its effort to find a cure for Temporal Retentive Syndrome
(TRS).
