Another week, another list, this time from just the last 2 days of awesome fun in Stratford upon Avon celebrating Shakespeare. Here we go then, in no particular order, On Monday 19th March 2012 I am thankful for . . . .
680. Safe journeys to and from Stratford upon Avon and a Sat Nav that got us right where we needed to be.
681. Nice hotel for less than we expected to pay.
682. Lots of journaling and reading time while youngest and the rest of the Tadlop team were in workshops and rehearsals.
683. The gorgeous river Avon and it's inhabitants to sit by to do that journaling.
684. It seems that everyone who was part of Tadlop had fun all weekend. Including those who arrived too close to "just on time" to make it into the team photo, GRIN.
685. Having a full McDonalds hot drink card so that I could give one away.
686. Got to read the script for Heresy of Love even if I didn't make it to see the show earlier this year. Well written and I am so jealous of my eldest son who did get to see it.
687. All you can eat breakfasts.
688. The whole Open Stages Production was awesome, some incredible pieces and some confusing pieces. Tadlop was among the incredible! AWESOME, AMAZING, SPECTACULAR in fact. I swear I don't know how some people can say they can't find any humour in Shakespeare, I had seen the Tadlop production before and it still made me laugh until I cried.
689. The Royal Shakespeare Company for allowing "works based on Shakespeare" to still be part of the Open Stages Project.
690. Each of the amateur theatre companies involved:
691. Masque theatre
692. MDCC Theatre in association with Rambling Heart
693. Banbury Cross Players
694. Herrick Theatre
695. Pattingham Drama Group
696. Rogues & Vagabonds
697. The Royal Air Force Theatrical Association
698. Side by Side Theatre Company
699. Telford and District Light Operatic Players (TADLOP)
700. Standby Theatre
701. Tread the boards Theatre Company
702. the guy on the row in front of me nearly jumping out of his skin when one of the tadlop witches cackled. I know I shouldn't laugh, but it was funny.
703. All in all an awesome weekend.
704.

ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you all had a good weekend together!
thanks!
DeleteThank you for sharing your trip and list of thankfulness! I sorta live vicariously through your stories about your son, and wonder what my life would have been like if I'd continued down the stage management career path. I also love how excited and happy you are, and how much you support him. :)
ReplyDeleteInterestingly Michelle this is the other son.
DeleteEldest is the stage management student and he is the one that got to go and see Heresy of Love (686). As a local theatre student he managed to get free tickets for the press night. You can read about Heresy of Love here:

This was youngest who has recently joined an amateur Musical Theatre group locally. He LOVES it and has been trying to persuade eldest to be their stage manager when their current one has to move on later this year.
Thanks for splashing me with God's goodness today. I hope you don't mind if I wade around a bit to get to know you. This looks like a refreshing place to dip into all good things.

What fun. I was at Stratford on Avon years ago.....loved it. You sound like someone who enjoys 99% of everything you do and there is just so much here that God has given us to enjoy. Thank you for sharing with us so I could remember my wonderful time in UK so many years ago. My dream has always been to go back and do a garden tour or else do the walking tour from the south to Scotland, staying in B&B's all the way.....
