Who knew there was life this side of the state?…read more Passed by the Monticello Opera House last weekend. Got to see their murder mystery show, The Altos Hit Broadway. Apparently the Monticello Opera House hosts various shows throughout the season, including a murder mystery show each year. I just happened to catch the last showing of it. Typically these shows include dinner as well, so it's essentially dinner theater. Don't ask me about price as I was invited, but the dinner included bread, salad, a chicken with pasta dinner, and a dessert (this time being a sponge cake). While the food certainly wasn't gourmet, it was better than expected. I recommend not eating the entire dinner though if you're like me with a tiny stomach. You'll be asking to get rolled out of there. Note, too, that they have a bar on site for drinks. These you purchase separately. Parking around the area is ample and free. This little town doesn't seem have much going for it except this majestic-looking opera house, which I found out has two floors and has been around forever and a day. They seem to host a variety of events, and well, I definitely want to go back. The Playbill I received had next season's showings and there's one there that intrigues me about Anne Frank. Hmm...

Attended a play at this jewel of a place for the first time since the pandemic. Though the past…read moreplays I attended have been staged in the banquet hall (with a delicious catered dinner and an open bar), sitting in the auditorium was really nice. The building is old but precious, with original wood throughout. Though I had an enjoyable time, the only drawback was the sound. I am not sure of the types of microphones, etc., used. I heard most of the actors clearly, but a couple of the actors' voices were a bit muffled throughout the play. All in all, I am looking forward to attending more plays. And if/when I feel comfortable again being seated closely with other patrons at the same table, in a limited space while sharing a common meal, I will definitely do so - just not now. Though the auditorium is on the second floor and there are two flights of stairs, there is also an elevator. Of note, for those who love quaint settings for performances, consider donating to MOH to help maintain the ambiance and structural features.

This past Saturday of Mother's Day weekend was my first time attending a ballet performance since…read morebefore the pandemic. I will always be grateful for how this non-profit organization kept us entertained while we were "sheltering in place" by creating and sharing videos of various informal performances done around town. Certainly kept us engaged and just compassionate regarding the complete shutdown of their livelihood. In any case, my daughter and I attended the "Invitation To The Party" (a celebration of diversity in music and dance featuring jazz, gospel, R&B, and more), which was held at Ruby Diamond Auditorium. Absolutely loved it, especially the diversity involved in the various numbers that were performed. There was live music by the Tallahassee Jazz Symphony; Leon Anderson and Avis Berry never disappoint! We were also treated by listening to Macia Porter, who was unknown to me. She performed wonderfully as well. We simply enjoyed the entire show. Kudos to ballet dancers, the choreographers, and all others who had a hand in this performance!

I have attended many bellydance classes and none compare to this place. Julie is the best teacher…read moreI've had by far. She is passionate and very knowledgeable about the dance. What won me to become her student was how she paid attention to detail. Other teachers I have visited often left me wondering if I was doing anything correctly. I didn't know, but Julie will take the time to make sure I understand what I am or am not doing correctly. Plus she teaches about which country the dances come from and the culture behind them, something I haven't seen other teachers do! If you truly want to learn about bellydance and want a teacher who is knowledgeable and thorough in their teaching, I highly recommend this studio. You will not be disappointed!
