If Music Be the Food of Love...
Well, I didn't make it to Grease, the Singalong because my friend that I was supposed to go with got sick and apparently all of my other friends are too wimpy to go to a midnight movie! Are we really that old, people? Thankfully, it will be playing again on August 24, so all is not lost.
But I did make it to a production of "Twelfth Night" by The Shakespeare Company that was wonderfully fun. Emma Claire Miller, who has starred in two of my as-yet-unfinished short films (Coda & No Time Like the Present), was cast as Olivia and she was the most fun, most forward Olivia that I have ever seen. Stuart James who played Sir Toby and Janos Zeller who played Malvolio were also standouts for me, but the entire cast was delightful. And the scene where Malvolio discovers the letter that was planted for him was so well done that it had me rolling on the floor with laughter. The Calgary run of the show is finished, but it's playing in Canmore from July 25-29 and there's a matinee in Banff on August 5. Then it tours to British Columbia for a few days. For ticket and scheduling information, check out their website.
And if you miss this production, allow me to recommend the film version of "Twelfth Night
" with Helena Bonham Carter, Ben Kingsley and Imogen Stubbs. It's one of the best non-Branagh Shakespearean film adaptations that I've ever seen.

You remind that once again, I've probably missed all the Shakespeare in the Park productions.
And no, I probably would not be able to stay awake for a midnight movie.

Obviously it varies from city to city and company to company, but I know that our Shakespeare in the Park is still going on (it's separate from our Shakespeare Company)... so yours might be, too. Worth looking into.
And I know the hours that I keep are not the norm. As I get older, it gets harder and harder to find people keeping the schedule that I keep. Which is probably why I collect so many young friends. Gotta have someone to do something with late at night... unfortunately my young friends are all "too cool" for a Grease Singalong. *sigh*
