HAPPY 4TH ANNIVERSARY, Magnet Theater! Dear Magnet, Thank you for being one of the best improv and sketch and all-around funny places in town. According to some experts, " 'Energetic' and 'imaginative' best describe the 4-year-old. Often impatient and silly, they discover humor and spend a great deal of time being silly. A 4-year-old's language may range from silly words such as 'batty-watty' to profanity. Loud, boisterous laughter may accompany such language." So there you have it, Magnet ... now we yell "Freeze!" walk over and swat your ass four times ... with one more to grow on.
