This is exactly why all seniors should not be allowed out of their Jewish Community Centers without supervision. They are not only careless with their props, but it seems prone to a trigger happy existence once past Social Security age.
81-year-old geezer/actor, Fred Kellerman was accidently shot in the skull by his director and fellow pre-Baby Boomer, while rehearsing a light production of “Of Mice and Men”.
Apparently at the end of the play, the character called Lenny takes a bullet to the head, but fiction turned into reality when the Sarasota Senior Theater group prez forgot to check the status of the “borrowed” weapon before pointing and unloading a round at the frontal lobe of his wrinkly co-star.
Although Mr. Kellerman is not mad about the incident, he will miss part of his ear that was ripped off once the bullet bounced around his brain before exiting. Elias Blumenkrantz will resume the role of Lenny until further notice.
