Today, I'm working concessions again. This time, it's for "A Really Big Shoe 8 – Entertainment Explosion Goes to the Movies." It's for a good cause:
This show to benefit homeless and needy children takes its songs, dances and comedy skits from the movies. Tumwater High School’s marching band will perform “Seventy-six Trombones” and Elvis will be in the house. “Grumpy Old Men” and “You’ve Got Mail” comedy skits will tickle your funny bone!
I think a friend of mine is in the cast, if she's still in the group. It's been a few years since I've worked for this show, so I'm not sure. It'll be fun.
My friend Claudia was there today! She sang "People" from
Funny Girl and killed! She was one of the two best singers in the whole show (it is just a bunch of 55+ year old people performing for a good cause, so it's not really about how good any of the performers are
). The other really good singer was my friend Bruce. He sang "Surrey with the Fringe on Top" from
Oklahoma!, but he sang Nancy LaMott's version. It was beautiful. Overall, the crowd of about 500 loved it. A good time was had by all.
