Tonight Eva had the premiere of Godspell Jr. She was one of the storytellers. The storytellers were the ensemble and they each acted out some of the parables and stories surrounding Jesus. They had lines and Eva got to be a part of one parable about a servant serving two masters and then as Jesus separated the crowd into sheep and goats. Eva was a sheep and she did such an amazing job as a sheep. She was even pretending to chew grass from side to side like sheep do. She did that so well.When she was the servant serving two masters he pretended to be a dog and that made the director take notice and he’s going to use that again.
Eva was so happy to be a part of this production. The kids did a great job and I think she made some nice friends on the cast. I know that she is going to be all ready to get going on another production as soon as she can.
We were joined by my mom and dad and my sister, Shelby. My Aunt Donna also came and one of Eva’s former teachers came to show support.
The night finally arrived. Allison has been waiting to see Hamilton in the theater for such a long time and tonight was the night. When she heard that Hamilton was coming to PPAC she asked if we can get tickets. I said sure and try to get tickets. She was successful. So, we had an early anniversary night out together to see a fantastic show.
Before we headed down to Providence we went over to The Mad Moose Saloon in North Attleboro for dinner. It was a very good meal. We started off with there special Saloon Style Calamari. It was some of the best I’ve ever had.
We had nice seats for the play. Allison was so excited for the play and she had been listening to everything Hamilton related for months. I wanted to go into the play pretty much cold. I had heard of one of the songs about throwing away one’s shot. It wasn’t until I listened to an audible book called Rivals! Frenemies who Changed the World. One chapter was dedicated to Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr. It was an interesting chapter and Throwing away a shot has to do with dueling. A Duelist could fire directly into the air and that would be throwing away one’s shot. Of course this is not what the song means but it is interesting as to where that came from. We listened to that chapter after the play.
