Babette’s Feast – Play – Taproot Theatre Opening night to “Babette’s Feast” play. Opera singer was amusingly vivacious. Cast doubled characters were clearly defined. I’ve always liked this story but never have been able to grasp the message.
Bright Star – Musical – Taproot Theatre “Bright Star” by Steve Martin at Taproot Theatre. Unexpectedly good musical despite all the folk country bluegrass (which I surprisingly enjoyed) & depictions of the backwards South. Talented lead actress. Proud to have accurately predicted two major plots twists. #Southern
Kim’s Convenience – Play – Taproot Theatre Stage play version of “Kim’s Convenience” w/ Taproot Theatre. Relatable to the Asian immigrant family experience. Also kinda racist (but in other ways not). Cool detailed set too. #Korean
Arsenic & Old Lace – Play – Taproot Theatre Sold-out standing-room-only murder comedy play “Arsenic & Old Lace” at Taproot Theatre. An understudy-less actor was sick & the set designer read lines really well w/ a script on stage! #TheShowMustGoOn. Dialogue & eccentric characters reminded me of English humor.
Charlie Brown Christmas – Musical/Play – Taproot Theatre Last day of the sold-out Charles Shultz “Charlie Brown Christmas” stage adaption at Taproot Theatre. I need to stop seeing kid-friendly shows. Nice how the schroeder character accompanied the musical (or play?).
