Last month’s quote
“Somehow, being topless in Vegas never came up during Daddy’s morning prayers for ‘God’s guidance’ in my life.”
That line comes from Murphy Funkhouser’s autobiographical one-woman show, “Crazy Bag,” recently extended through July 20 at the Vintage Theatre (see photo above). It was first solved by Haley Johnson, who writes, “Loved the ceiling surprise, Murphy!”
