My Night at the Theater

Hello Again!

The other day, my Dad and I went to our local community theater to be volunteer ushers and to see the play, Up the Down Staircase. It was my first play that I've ever seen (that I remember that is) ! and I loved it! It was so cool! :)
I borrowed my mom's black skirt and shirt to wear(I didn't have anything fancy enough to wear. hahaha!). The theater isn't very far away from where we live, so it was a quick drive for me and my dad. When we got there we met Harvey, the guy that is in charge and he showed us around and what our jobs were. Our jobs were to help people find their seats and hand out programs. My dad told people where their seats were, which was the perfect job for him, because he's so tall and his voice is loud and I kept teasing him about his head being shiny (my dad is bald by the way ;-D ) from the lights on the ceiling. Hahaha!

And then during the intermission I stood behind a counter and handed out cookies to people and Harvey collected money and sold drinks. And my Dad held the door open for people to come out and when they were coming back in, he made sure no one brought food into the theater. Towards to the end of the intermission, a guy came up and wanted to buy a soda, and Harvey told him that there were only four minutes till the show started again, and soda isn't allowed in the theater either. The guy hesitated and thought about it for a minute then said "Shoot! now I've wasted another minute trying to decide!" and we all laughed. He did end up buying the soda and drank most of it before the show started again.

The rest of the time Dad and I got to watch the show! We were very lucky, because two seats right next to each other in the front row were left open, so Dad and I could sit next to each other and watch the play! So lucky!

I Loved it! The play was called "Up the Down Staircase". It's a comedy about an English teacher who goes to work at a new school, but she has a very hard time getting to know all the kids in her class. It's a bit hard to explain, but it was VERY good. There were some scenes that were really funny! I really enjoyed it and I can't wait to see another play! I wonder what i might be able to see next? I'd LOVE to see Roger and Hammerstein's Cinderella live some day. I have the 90s version of that play on DVD. It's my favorite!
Anyway, Dad and I got back home around 10:00pm! As soon as I got home I jumped into my jammies and told Mom and Thane about it. Then when I went to bed, I was asleep by the time my head hit the pillow ;)
I can't wait to do that again!
Peace! ☮
