American Players Theater

Every year, usually at the end of March or beginning April, my good friend Nanci comes up with about three plays and three dates of play performances for our group of friends to see at the American Players Theater in Spring Green. It's rather nice. She takes the guess work out for us of "what do you wanna see, which days do you wanna go, who's going." Which could get rather messy, not to mention frustrating! We tell her the dates we want to go and how many tickets we need and then give her a check for $22.00 per ticket. She gets the teacher discount!! Jim, Becky, Katie and I decided to go to yesterday's performance of The Admiral Crichton.

American Players Theater is an outdoor theater. So we always pack a dinner picnic and eat at picnic tables provided on the grounds. This year we brought my infamous Thai Vegetable Spring Rolls, Thai Chicken Salad with miniature Ciabatta buns, a mix of Chinese Snacks (including those HOT "peas" and nasty shrimp thingees I hate) and two bottles of wine.

(Unfortunately, tho I brought my camera, I was having too much fun and sharing in MUCH GREAT LAUGHTER, that I forgot to take pictures and therefore have to resort to stock photographs).

The play was a funny twist of fate and social classes. It reminded us of the PBS show Downton Abbey because it included wealthy aristocrats and their servants and was set in the early 1900s.  Pictured above are the three wealthy daughters. The daughters, their father, and a butler get stranded on an isolated island. The butler becomes the person in charge and the daughters become his servant. But in the end they get rescued and all of them  go back to their respective lives. It was quite funny and purely entertaining.

The sets at APT are always delightful!

WHAT A GREAT EVENING!!!!
