T is for Theatre
Hubby and I met in high school via the speech team. I followed him around like a love sick puppy! And since he was in the drama club I had to join that too! My only drama background...if you can even call it that....was playing Lucy in "A Charlie Brown Christmas" in the third grade. Nonetheless, love is fearless, so I followed him into drama. Our first play together was called "The Imaginary Invalid"...in which I just played a servant girl who had to walk on stage carrying a tray of drinks and stand there...absolutely NO lines....but I was terrified anyway. Hubby is the exact opposite. He loved acting and did it till we had kids. Drama club did mean one other fun thing --- a senior trip to New York City where my love of musicals was born. My favorite one we saw? A Chorus Line!
I actually got to see it again a few years ago and it was interesting how differently I saw the show as a woman in her 40's than I did at 17.
We have maintained our love of theatre and once our kids were grown we got season tickets to Seattle's 5th Avenue Theatre. The last show we saw was Grease. Now we wait for a new season to open in the fall.
This is another hobby I expect we'll keep doing for quite a while.

I went to see "A Chorus Line" years ago when I still lived in Chicago. I loved that show! Also got to see "Cats" which was excellent as well but I still enjoyed "A Chorus Line" more. "The Goodbye Girl" (Neil Simon) another favorite. I do miss the big city sometimes!
In high school, my best friends and I had every song from "A Chorus Line" memorized and we'd sing them in the halls at school after class(it was an old school and had great acoustics). Loved it when I got to see a production of it in Seattle when I was in college.
p.s. Hey didja notice I got the comment thing figured out? Just call me slow. :)
Wow...I was blessed with a Melis comment too...this is exciting!
