The Final Show!

I enjoyed the show so much Friday night that I was going to get more tickets and see another with some other friends. No good seats. Oh well. We had front row on opening night, that was certainly more than enough.

Katharine called between shows and said they were ordering pizza before the next performance. I asked her how it went and she told me that the audience was not drunk enough and they just sat there and didn't want to participate! I felt so bad for her, but I also wanted her to know that, even though we had wine before Friday night's show, WE were not drunk. WE were just having an excellent time and were simply goofy! Which was the way it should have been, in my opinion.

Kate sounded stuffy so I told her I would bring her a Claritin. I grabbed a box of Capri Sun drinks to bring for them to have with their pizza as well. When I got there she was very unhappy looking. Then the woman who founded No Square Theatre was walking by, and I said, "The audience was not drunk enough Bree?" She said, "It was the second show slump. Plus we needed the kids to almost yell because the acoustics in the theatre are not very good." I was thinking micking the kids who had lines would have not been so hard! The audience was full of older people and little kids. Katharine was then more upset by the performance. I told her to sing louder in the next show and that night time shows are better anyhow. Plus, what I didn't say was that they would be a bit loosened up by the wine...Again.

We picked her and her friend up at 11:00. The third show went very well and she was once again bubbly and excited. Apparently somebody ordered the hearty meat pizza and it was not very good so most were still hungry after the show. Even if she ate, she would be hungry after the show. She is like a hummingbird, eats constantly. We drove thru Jack in the Box, on the way to dropping her friend at their place above their fabulous Italian Restaurant!

One last performance tonight and back to school and the real world tomorrow!

We had thunder and lightening last night! It was wild. I spoke to my friend for almost two hours on the phone and that was fun! He daughter asked how long she had been on the phone and I told her what she says to me, "Who is the parent?" She repeats it to her daughter! It was pretty funny.

I was up at three with the thunder. I put down the umbrellas and was a bit nervous about the lightening around me. About five, I hear a noise and one of the umbrellas fell over. I will leave it down for now. Not like we are due any significant rain, but we are supposed to have thunder storms through Monday. Rare here. But even a half inch of rain could help lessen the fire season and that would be fabulous!

I went back to sleep about 7:30 and slept til 10:00. A nice thing to do on a rainy day. But it was sunny when I got up. And now it is beginning to cloud up again. Yippee. I want to watch many things I have Tivo'd. Only problem with the rain, even though I love it, is that if it rains too hard, I have to take my computer in the house and type from there.

BTW, I didn't take photos of the show. There is a professional photographer that shoots hundreds of photos, at all the performances and then puts them up on the website for us to purchase. I figured I wanted to relax and enjoy friends and the show without my camera. I should have taken some though. Although flash photography is forbidden in the theatre! They will be online soon and I will post some then!
