Greetings!
Two dates of note this week:
Friday, June 24
is the last day to bring your lightly used items to the playhouse for the
Parking Lot Sale
on August 1.
If you are seeking theatre entertainment, try the National Theater. They have been doing a great job pulling shows out of their vault and sharing them for a week at a time on Youtube.
This week's offering is a production of Peter Schaeffer's Amadeus. It is a lively, original production. One of the intriguing things in the staging is that there is a contemporary orchestra on stage - classically trained musicians that are integrated into the action, choreography, blocking of the show.
I will freely admit - I love/hate the costumes. I think they work better on "stage" than they do up close (as a costume designer, I always have something to say about costumes!) but that said, there is a lot of inspired thinking in the design and directing of the show. So if you have time and want to watch, I suggest going to YouTube and typing in
National Theater Amadeus
between now and next Friday.
