Saturday in the Theatre With George

There are some constants in life. Each time I read or see "To Kill a Mockingbird" I find something new to enjoy in it. "Bridge Over Troubled Water" never fails to thrill me. And I will always laugh at "You Can't Take it With You".

The Wichita Center for the Arts presented that George S. Kaufman play with local talent this last week and we went to see it Saturday night. I have never been to a sold out production there, and this one wasn't, but it was the closest I have seen them come. It was an absolutely enjoyable experience. The audience really responded to the funny places and the wackiness of the family really came through.

I have come to the conclusion that I really love live theatre, even when it is just good, not necessarily excellent. There is just something about the atmosphere, seeing it live. I don't know if I will ever see anything on Broadway, but I don't really need to.

The next show the Center is doing is "Cheaper by the Dozen". The real one. I would like to see that. They are doing "A Raisin in the Sun" in February and "Taming of the Shrew" in April. That should keep me busy!
