I know what you mean about plays. The first act of "You Can't Take It With You" seemed "dead on the page" to me when I read it silently to myself in January. The rest of it seemed gently amusing but by no means hilarious. But when people started doing it during the auditions, it got really funny very quickly.

A few places are extending Restaurant Week through next week. Want to do dinner? I'm free any night but Friday.
