Dear family and friends
"The theatre, the theatre. What's happened to the theatre!" (Does anyone remember what film that quote is from?)
Grayson attended the theatre tonight. Our man-about-town saw Cabaret - or the first part, at least. The true critic, Grayson asked to leave at intermission because he found it boring. According to his residential assistant (RA) that was with him, it was a rather poor performance, and the RA was also quite tired of it! So back to the residence they came at the interval, and Grayson went straight to bed. Given that they got back at 10:15, I'm not surprised!
Tonight Grayson got to manage his money for the first time. He was handed an envelope with the money for the outing. He purchased his own ticket and purchased his own soda at intermission before leaving. He had some difficulty holding the loose bills, and dropped several, but much more importantly, he had a new post-injury experience dealing with cash. (Yes, he did pick up the dropped money!)
Another good day, some new adventures, and some growth opportunities – not a bad Thursday!
Pax!

"Chicks who did kicks aren't kicking anymore they're doing choreography." from "White Christmas" One of my all time favourite holiday movies. And I love Danny Kaye in the Choreography number!
ReplyDeleteIt's too bad Grayson isn't closer to Prep--we're doing Fiddler on the Roof this week, he probably would have enjoyed it more than Cabaret. Plus, our production features an eight-foot-tall singing ghost and explosions. What more could you ask from the theater?
ReplyDeleteI did both Cabaret and Fiddler in High School and Fiddler was way more enjoyable. Our Tevye is now acting on Broadway.
