The Highlands Little Theatre

We got to see "Once Upon A Mattress" tonight at the Highlands Little Theatre. It was SO MUCH FUN!!!! I haven't been to a live musical in so long and I had forgotten how much I enjoy theatre. This cast had so much fun together . . . it was obvious. To make it even better, the girls' cheerleading coach had the lead role. (remember, I told you that in small places there are connections everywhere?!) The kids thought that was the BEST thing in the world.

My neighbors had gone to the Little Theatre for another show and their experience wasn't quite as positive. Apparently the guy in the lounge couldn't open the wine bottle (and to see my neighbor act it out was probably more entertaining than the show they went to see!) Our one piece of negative feedback was that the ushers seated us at a table but they kept changing where we sat because they couldn't read the room/table map so we played musical chairs for awhile. Just one of the reminders that it was a rural community theatre. But tonight they put on a grand show that made me proud of our little town. It's true, we found CULTURE in our town! Shh! Don't tell anybody . . . they might take it away!

For thus are the ways of Arbuckle Creek where culture amounts to concerts in the state park with less that ideal talent and a cup of "java" means day old Folgers at the Circle K.
