More playgoing reports

Kathy and I completed our round of the 25 Ten-Minute Plays at the Source Festival on Sunday night with the longest of the three rounds, Group C (it had nine plays; the other two had eight each; and it had one of the longest-not-really-10-minute offerings). While we enjoyed most of them, we felt that the A and B groups overall were stronger. But the acting continued to be outstanding. It was quite an event, and we were pleased to have made the effort. We also caught dinner beforehand with Andy and Sarah, who were just back from a wedding gathering in New Jersey. Fun!

Monday was spent driving to Pittsburgh and chatting the evening away with my mother and brother; most of Tuesday was spent with Mom, and then Bob joined us again for dinner Tuesday night. Wednesday was on the road to Abingdon, then we caught "Don't Cry for Me, Margaret Mitchell," a comedy, at Barter Theatre last night. More fun! Oddly enough, though the story line sounds extremely similar, it does not seem to be the same play as "Moonlight and Magnolias." Intriguing. Anyway, we enjoyed it. Then, this morning (Thursday), we made our winding way across Highway 58 in Virginia and then down into Ashe County. Lovely weather here today!
