THINGS THAT GO BY THE BOARD – COMEDY ABOUT HOME OWNER ASSOCIATIONS

It’s paradise. The perfect place to live (except in summer of course, when everyone leaves and goes elsewhere). And paradise only stays paradise when it’s tightly wound, sorry, controlled. And who better to do that than the board of the home owner association?  Their monthly meetings are fundamental in the running of this gated community. The fact that nobody really comes to them only shows how well run the place is. Until now. Tonight, we are summoned to an emergency meeting to discuss a number of issues that have been brought to their attention. It’s going to be quite a meeting.  Comedy about home owner associations.
