Whoo! I won theatrical tick-tack-toe last week. Three nights in a row I went and patronized (semi)local performances which equaled substantial win all around. My first pursuit included accompanying That Man of Mine to The Unicorn Theatre for the fun edgy musical production of [title of show]. Very much fun - very well done. I enjoyed it a lot.
Night two also involved That Man of Mine as well as a road-trip to good ol' Warrensburg to see UCM's production of A Chorus Line. It was surprisingly good. Since A Chorus Line is not an easy show to put on - I did not go in with very high expectations and ended up being pleasantly surprised. It was a particularly nostalgic venture since ACL was one of the first productions I ever saw which featured That Man of Mine. The car ride back to KC was filled with such reminiscing.
Night three threw scripts to the wind as I went to see one of KC's premiere improv troops, Tantrum, rock the house after work. Longtime improv buddy, member of Tantrum, and improv-mentor-of-sorts, Pete, invited me and I am more than glad I went. It was a bit of old-home-room moment at the show as I had performed with 6 out of the 7 troupe members back in late high school/early college. What a blast! The first half was an entertaining assortment of short-form games. The troupe looked like they were having so much fun it made me want to jump up and take part! The second half featured a monologist and long-form set which was as enjoyable as it was impressive.
All in all - my theater trifecta was 3 for 3. Not bad, not bad.
Smallville, on the other hand, ruined my life when I caught up on the past two episodes of season 10. I don't want to spoil it for anyone - so I won't expound. Let's just say if I am anywhere close to right on a certain plot point involving a certain favorite character of mine - I am pissed.
