OMGOSH, what a fun evening! We hadn't been to Playmakers in forever...in fact, this was the first "date" I took Petunia on when we met. What a glorious evening that was, I even patted my own self on the back. We started with dinner at Cafe Lynn (she was wearing the new dress and shoes I had picked out...go me, right?) and then came to Playmaker's for a night of theater. It was a great time, although I can't remember what it was we saw. I really hope the night was as special for her as it was for me. Good memories at this place.
Anyway, fast forward to this past weekend and my neighbor, Courtney, had been telling me about her adventures in the theater with her daughter, Abilyn. So, what a great time to make a return to Playmakers!
Nothing much has changed about the place; it's still down a little road to what seems like nowhere until it stops in a little roundabout with a little bit of parking. No, there isn't much, but it was plenty tonight. The vibe from the parking lot is exciting and we were ready to get to our seats (after pre-snacking, don'tcha know).
The building is unassuming, but cool, and the theater itself is a tiny little thing, very intimate, and it was really neat to be so up close and personal with the cast. There are concessions with soft drinks, wine and beer, plus popcorn and candy, so we loaded up and hit our seats.
Tonight's play was called "Choose Your Own Oz." It was interactive, with a live narrator and a chance to choose details or paths for the story. I won't spoil it, but it's fun and your kids are gonna love it. If you're looking for a great little play, check it out. Either way, keep your eye on the Playmakers Theater, they have several shows a year and it's great to support and experience theater in your own home town. read more
