Love me THE WEEKEND! Even though we are retired, there seems to be many events that take place only on the weekend. in our community, we have eleven (yes 11) high schools and during January and February, the fine arts department present their play productions. Fine performances each and every one of these presentations! We have only so much time to devote to seeing these interesting and entertaining events. The price is right! The locations are close! The high schoolers are outstanding! We can't believe we are watching 16-17 year olds on stage--they have such talent, poise, ability! It makes one proud to see our future.
We were fortunate to see three of these plays--One night we attened "Bright Star" a musical--we do love these plays the best! WE are amazed at the singing voices of these "kids"!
We'd not heard of this play--written by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell
It is definitely P13 rating as the topic is a tough one.
Another night we viewed "
Pippin" Another musical--we once again could not believe the variety of these stage performances!
"Heir to the Frankish throne, the young prince Pippin is in search of the secret to true happiness and fulfillment. He seeks it in the glories of the battlefield, the temptations of the flesh and the intrigues of political power (after disposing of his father, King Charlemagne the Great).
There is only so much time in one weekend--we were unable to see the other productions--"Mama Mia", "Sponge Bob Musical", "Anastasia", "The Wiz", Arsenic and Old Lace", and "Beauty and the Beast" (which we'll see next weekend)
Last year, we attended "Cinderella", Anastasia" and "Mama Mia"--all greatly loved!
The other schools presented their productions when we could not attend. Ahh, so sad for us!
Next weekend we’ll attend another version of above play!
Enjoy! each! every! minute!
