I just read about a man and his step-son who died hiking in 119 degree weather. Again, why would you do that.

An actor named Arthur Hughes is playing Richard III in this Royal Shakespeare Company production I’m watching. He’s excellent. He’s also physically disabled.

The whole production is electrifying. The seduction of Queen Anne hits with both comedy and shock.

Shortly, I'll shave and shower and then be on my way to a matinee.

This is Anna Zavelson, a finalist in last year’s ceremony, and currently performing the role of Clara in the Encores! production of The Light In The Piazza. What a voice! Listening to her sing reminds me of the first time that I heard Lea Salonga sing…gave me chills.

The selected high school students, 96 this year, come from all over the country.

They spend one week in New York, attending master classes and rehearsing for the show.

It’s amazing how good they are, given so little time to rehearse.

There was a PBS documentary about it, Broadway Or Bust.

Reunion was fun - no knives, chains, or zip guns were flashed.

Glad your reunion went well, DR Jrand.

Those family reunions can be unpredictable.

Not at the moment but we are having a thunderstorm.

Did you miss the rain at the reunion?

Jane · « **Reply #142 on:** June 25, 2023, 12:55:35 PM »

I remember tornadoes when we lived in Michigan.

Jane · « **Reply #143 on:** June 25, 2023, 12:55:54 PM »

We never had a direct hit though the siren went off once.

The high school kids couldn't leave school, of course backing up the release time of the rest of the classes waiting for the school buses.

Jane · « **Reply #145 on:** June 25, 2023, 12:57:23 PM »

That was the only time the kids, except for drills, had to line up in the hallways to wait it out.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #146 on:** June 25, 2023, 01:03:13 PM »

Missed the rain.....still sunny when I came home at 2 p.m.

DR IRIS I just heard the warning siren and the wind is much stronger.....but I think the path is north of me.

Jane · « **Reply #147 on:** June 25, 2023, 01:06:32 PM »

Good regarding the missed rain.

Here’s a rehearsal of the opening number of the Jimmys. I found it about a minute too long. And the audio is occasionally a problem. But what talent.
