Tonight I am going to a musical, Anne of Green Gables’ .. last time I saw a version of this musical was a small town high school version when our son had one of the main roles. sophie, I missed this post before - was your son Gilbert Blythe? Or Matthew?

Scrubb, my memory of his play is hazy at best.. many years ago.. I think he was Gilbert.

went to a concert in the Berlin philharmonic concert hall today - not a regular concert, but one where the orchestras of different elementary schools presented themselves, including my brother's school - he plays the baritone tuba (or baritone horn? he just refers to it as baritone, so i am not sure) in the orchestra, they played a piece composed by a local composer ...

tzarine - have you been to the Cole show at the Met? I was a founding trustee of his house museum in Catskill, and a trustee of the Greene Cty Hist Soc, that lent his paint box... WISH I could get there. oh, and small world that it is, the earlist image we have of Pownalborough Courthouse ( "my" museum) - is by.... Thomas Cole. Who visited there with his buddy Henry Pratt on a sketching trip to Maine and the White Mts...

There is an art show about 20 k away. I am too lazy (after a 2 hour morning hike and then making a double batch of blueberry jam) to go to it. I am a lousy culture vulture.

We were at Shakespeare's The Tempest this evening. It was done in the open air (fortunately sunny) at the National Trust property where we work. Mrs Faz was selling raffle tickets, I was checking entry tickets but we saw nearly all the performance. It was lively (except that Prospero had a chest/voice problem).

theatre was a bit better than the last piece we saw (which was also a pippi longstocking story), but still, why do they think slapstick and exaggerated voices and silliness is the way to go with kids? is it because they assume the kids will find that funny? or because they think a children's theatre piece has to be funny for the sake of the parents? i think a piece about a well known story aimed at preschoolers would work best as basically an innocent story, told the same way as in the book, so it is very recognizable for the children ...
ah, and i recognized some of the actors, they were the same ones as in the last piece, even though it was a different theatre. maybe the same company though, or they work for more than one ...
but at least they had more songs, choreographed in a more child-like way, and the stage was decorated more nicely, and there was a real horse ... the kids said they liked it, just as they said last time (though neither time they seemed as rapt as when we went to see the wizard of oz last year - we'll go back to that theatre in winter to see ronja the robber's daughter, hopefully that will be good, it's one of my favourite children's books)
