bex77I got to see a Theatre@First main stage show live on Saturday night! The first time since March 2020! It was so good to be back with those folks, and seeing talented people produce a dramatic work of art.
I drove down to Somerville. I found a space in the block beyond my sister's house on her street, and she met me with a parking pass! Makes it so easy to go there.
I carried my new beach chair up to Nathan Tufts Park with her and my niece. We staked out a spot on the grass. She brought me a bowl from Waikiki Poke - salmon teriyaki with cabbage, quinoa, carrots, edamame and pineapple for a picnic in the park before the show. It was so tasty!
Mother Nature blessed us with a perfect evening for theater outdoors! I saw lots of folks I haven't seen in ages. The show went well. It was "Henry V" - "once more unto the breach," The English and French St Crispin's day battle at Agincourt...etc. We ended up with 105 people in the audience, which seems like a lot as the church basement we usually use only seats 80! My new beach chair was just the thing to keep me upright and paying attention for just over two hours!

I chatted with folks and told actors, the director and producer how well it went!
