The Theater

Tonight the girls and I went to see 'The Foreigner' at the local high school. 'The Foreigner' is one of my favorite comedic plays and I really wanted to share it with the girls. Kent was kind enough to stay home with the boys while us girls had a night out.

Going to the play actually fulfilled a requirement Savannah has for Orchestra and Samantha has for Choir, which is to see at least one production of a performing art each quarter and then fill out a form answering questions about the performance they saw. But fulfilling the requirement was just an added bonus, even if they hadn't needed to see something this quarter I would have still wanted to take them to see the play.

The girls really enjoyed the play! And we quoted lines all the way home. :) Which to me is the earmark of a great production. :) The actors did a wonderful job and I was especially impressed with Froggy's accent. The girls' favorite character was Betty Meeks, they loved how she yelled at Charlie and 'had a connection' with him. :)

It was fun to chat with the girls during intermission, explaining points of the plot they didn't quite get and getting their thoughts on the characters, acting, scenes and overall play.

I love the theater and I loved getting to share it with my girls. It was truly a wonderful evening for me!
