…a matinee, a stroll, and a gelato.
We used to live down the road from the Shaw Festival in Niagara-on-the-Lake.
It was a blessing and a curse.
Curse
Have I told you how much I love live theatre?
Blessing
Rush seats.
Last week, on a typically gorgeous, N-O-T-L day, we motored around the lake for a day of walking and noshing and theatre.
It might’ve been over the river and through the woods in my imagination.
But we motored.
To see…
Peter and the Starcatcher
Shaw Festival Playbill 2015
I have not been entertained so well in a very long time.
It was fast, funny, frenetic.
Wild, readers. Wild!
I loved the modern references and the bare-bones set.
PATS was performed storytelling-style.
The actors were and did all.
Stamina.
They had it.
I was charmed.
I wanted to be a pirate, a mermaid, a clam, an orphan… a girl.
Here’s the behind-the-scenes look…
On stage at the Royal George Theatre from April 8 – November 1.
Black Stache…
Help me, Rhonda.
I’m thinking I might go again.
Just as soon as I learn Norse Code.
A stellar performance by a stellar cast.
Yes. I used stellar twice on purpose.

Here be Humpity Day.
Let’s just imagine ourselves right over it.

I love NOTL. I used to take wine tours there all the time. We watched a production at a vineyard once and sat on the grass and ate cheese n crackers and drank wine. It was a fine time indeed. I miss those days when I got paid to talk about wine.

Hi Elen, just want to see if you had ever been nominated for a Liebster Award? If so, how was the experience? If not, would you like to be? From me?

I was just nominated for a Liebster. I haven’t done anything so far, so I can’t say what the experience was…. yet. And TY for thinking of Liebster and me together.

No problem, but think about doing a double nomination. You could answer both sets of questions in the same post. You could start a new trend. Noms yours if you want it x2.

It was, Otto. It surely was. I don’t know if you’re familiar with the story, but it’s the story of Peter and Wendy’s mother, and how Neverland came into being.

I only know it from the movie. 🙂
