We had a theatrical weekend! First, on Friday we attended the opening of "The Sound of Music" at the San Pedro Playhouse in San Antonio (musical director, ahem, our son). It was wonderful! I had not expected such lavish sets and costumes, and the voices were in tune, on key, and loud enough to hear on the back row. The cake and champagne after the performance were a fitting end to a marvelous production.
Then on Saturday we went back to San Antonio for a performance of "Take Me Out" in the intimate black box theatre at the playhouse. We had seen this effective drama on Broadway when it first came out, and I was curious to see how a regional community theatre would handle a play with some challenging theatrics. Most of the play takes place in a baseball locker room and shower. The showers actually worked! Real water! The cast was clearly up to the task of a play which is at times raucous and at times somber as it deals with the tricky subject of homophobia in athletics.
What a great weekend's entertainment!
