WARNING! Groundlings Stakeout has been monitoring your activities. Everything you have said in the last ten years has been duly noted, and if we are to be honest with ourselves, enjoyed. The things you mumble while driving are priceless, and we agree that “some jack-asses should take the bus.” We are especially interested in the things you say in your sleep. Who is “Mr. Lombard”? His name pops up repeatedly. Usually, it is in the context of garden work. “Shear at least three inches off the hedge,” you often advise Mr. Lombard. He is a favorite character of ours and we look forward to his progress on your dreamscape yard. In summary, please enjoy this show as much as we have enjoyed every aspect of your personal life.
