Patron of the Arts

Saturday I went to Cedar City to see The Mousetrap as part of the Utah Shakespearean Festival's fall season. It rained and snowed on us the whole way there. Then we arrived and there were busloads and busloads of teenagers. I now formally apologize for any pain I inflicted by being part of a 250-member band in high school that regularly descended like a plague on eating establishments and hotels. I'm so sorry. I didn't know what a scourge we were.

The play was excellent, though. I'd never seen a play in the Randall L. Jones Theatre before, although I toured the building when I was in grade school. I was so intrigued by the vomitoriums. Such an excellent idea. We were up in the balcony Saturday, but I don't think there's a bad seat in the theater. Nice design.

As I was leaving the show, I saw a poster with Michael Sharon's photograph. I, of course, stopped to investigate. Yuletide Theatre Tour of London sponsored by the Festival in December. With my imaginary boyfriend. I put in my leave request this morning. Merry Christmas to me!

I've never seen The Mousetrap, but I always like everything I see at the USF.

If the tour does not include roasted pine nuts, a group of carolers in costume, and a reading of Charles Dickens "The Christmas Carol", perhaps the most famous yuletide to come out of the UK, then you should consider not going.

I pretty much think that being in a foreign country over New Year's is always a good idea. With or without carolers.
