In the morning I spent some time playing with the pics I took at the farmers market with the iPhone 16 yesterday. That camera is really, really good. Also I gave them funny titles: gallery.
At 1pm I brought the car around to take part in the three-car car-pool to the Pear theater). There were all told 15 CH residents that have season tix to the Pear and all use the same day (second Sunday) of the run. We comprised about a third of the audience.
The play was Once on this Island, apparently a well known musical that has had multiple Broadway stagings, and somebody reminisced that her granddaughter’s high school put it on. It’s nice. Not riveting, but nice. Doesn’t really have an ending. But the staging was unusual. The scene is a Caribbean island. They did it in the round, with audience on 4 sides, and in the middle the set consisted of an area about 20 by 30 feet square, piled with about 4 inches of beach sand. The actors were barefoot and everything happened on the sand, dancing singing, etc.
