It was another impressive show. As soon as it was all over and the last photographs had been taken, enough cordless drills and screwdrivers to stock a large DIY store magically appeared and the set and scenery was broken down and cleared away.

I don’t have a cordless drill (well not one that works – the batteries died) so I couldn’t join in all the manly the fun, so I stood and watched for a while, and then helped fold fabric and carry blocks of scenery down into the bowels of the theater where there’s a veritable emporium of strange things that might one day adorn the set of some play.

When we finished we took a tired Lanie out for a celebratory meal. Despite being tired she did a good job of keeping us amused. Now she’s been bitten by the acting/singing and dancing bug this type of event is going to figure a lot more in our lives. And that’s not bad.

Note to self, I really must stop trying to take pictures in the dark.
