Sunday 02/18/2024
Just a typical Sunday morning. At 1pm I brought the car around to the front forming a line with three other cars for a 12- (or 14?) person carpool to the Pear theater. We saw To Peter Pan on Her 70th Birthday. It is an ok play, very well acted by a cast of six. An exploration, partly realistic and partly symbolic/fantastical, of aging and the desire to never grow up (Peter Pan) while inevitably aging.
This was interrupted in the middle by a member of the audience (of about 40 people) collapsing. The play was stopped while the person was helped out; we later heard that he had a problem with low blood pressure. The actors, who in the scene were gathered around a family dinner table, stopped where they were, then when the audience was back in their seats, restarted the scene from the top and carried on. Very professional.
