HW2 loves the play/musical 1776. She often played a video of the movie for her classes, and when she heard that it was to debut here yesterday thought we needed to go. We had not been able to go to see Wicked in San Antonio, since the cheapest tickets were more than $100 each, and we thought that was foolish to spend that much. So we went down to the ticket office to get tickets to 1776 and learned that good seats in the fourth row were only $15 each. This was a much better deal and we got the tickets and planned to return later in the evening.
We got all cleaned up and dressed for the theater, left about 7 pm, and noticed that after our rain shower that there was a rainbow and even better, a double one. It was hard to see the second arch but the colors were there. What a great treat and a lovely omen on the way to see 1776.
There seem to be many local people who have talent and enjoy doing plays like 1776. Ten people from our church were in this one, and the director of our choir was the director of the musical. In fact, our minister had a speaking role, as well. We were about to sit down after talking with several church friends when we got yelled at by Phillip, who used to be bartender here at the River Rock Saloon. He wanted us to come to the play that he will be in next month. The audience was friendly, and the play a grand success. The actors who played John Adams and Benjamin Franklin were excellent. By 10:30 we had enjoyed ourselves hugely and winded our way homeward. HW2 got to see 1776 again. I enjoyed it very much as well. The double rainbows were like a Fourth of July fireworks celebration without the noise. Happy travels.
