Oh the Drama! It's "Curtains" for Me

   I went to a play tonight with my mom and sister-in-law (don't know what else to call her). It brought back such good memories! I LOVED being in all of my school and church productions (yes my church put on productions... better then my high school... they were A-mazing). It was a mixture of happiness and nostalgia. I often regret not getting to persue my acting more, but the Lord seemed to draw me a different direction. It makes me happy to think that I may now be able to be a part of the drama scene again, once I start school. I even have the chance to be part of a traveling drama group at the school (don't worry practice is once a week after my girls would be in bed... and they only perform on Sundays and their "travel" is always in the area... and it's a paid position).

   Well, we went to see Grace College and Seminary put on the Broadway Musical, "Curtains". It was great! I would suggest very strongly that, if you are in the area, you go to see it this weekend. Though it may not have been up to Broadway's "standards", I thought that Grace's cleaned-up version was very well done for a college production. I have seen several college production... one even put on by one of Indiana's top drama schools (as far as Christian schools go) and I thought Grace's was far better then that one. I have also seen several Broadway shows... actual Broadway shows on Broadway in New York, New York... and I must say... I would almost take a small Christian College's version over Broadway's version any day. Yes, call me crazy but... I would rather be able to enjoy a play in its entirety, even with less "quality acting and production", then have to cringe my way through a "well acted and produced" play. Yes, the latter may have a bit more umph, but... like I said... I would rather not have to wash out my ears and mind just to see "higher quality".
