Party like it's 2019
Aug. 2nd, 2025 02:04 amRedbird and Cattitude and I just had a delightful night out, watching a play downtown. We reserved front-row lawn chairs at the Commonwealth Shakespeare Company outdoor production of As You Like it, which was just plain fun. Great chemistry, not just for the lead couple but between Rosalind and Celia. The fight scenes at the beginning were a wonderful mix of dancing and pro wrestling tropes. The show runs through August 10 and I recommend it.
Compared to the usual theater in the park, sitting on a picnic blanket and throwing some money in the collection basket, it was hideously expensive. But it was so much cheaper than the years of theater we've been missing out on because we were afraid to spend 3 hours in a crowded theater with lousy ventilation and a bunch of people with covid. It was even cheaper than the park performances we missed because not all the hips and knees in the family were up for sitting on the ground or in the kind of folding chair we could carry to the park.
