All Theatre Week

Last week was a weekend to go down in the family record books. Collectively our family saw 4 plays in 7 days. Pretty great if you ask me. The first play was a production by The Rainbow Company called Kit Carson's Frontier Adventures. This is the yearly 'traveling show' that the company does and performs at schools around Las Vegas. The show is Nevada Historically relevant and fun, too. It teaches history about the Las Vegas valley and I even learned how Mt. Charleston got it's name. Do any of YOU know how it was named??

The next play belonged only to Grant. (lucky duck) He was able to see the Utah Shakespearean Festival's traveling show of Romeo and Juliette at his High School. It was a condensed and modernized version, and he loved it!

Play number 3 was a gift to Wayne for his birthday in January. You see, Wayne is Canadian, which means he grew up watching British TV and this means he is a big fan of Monte Python. The Wynn Hotel here in Vegas is the home of the Broadway play SPAMALOT!! The show had tickets 2 for 1 for locals, so we took advantage and the whole family was able to go to the show. It was such a fun night with dinner before the show at California Pizza Kitchen. We laughed until we thought we would loose our pizza! Very fun show.

Our last play was Las Vegas Academy's production of CATS ~ Las Vegas. It was the Andrew Lloyd Weber version of Cats, but with a Vegas twist. There was a Mayor Goodman cat, a Michael Jackson cat, showgirl cats, an Elvis cat and much more Vegas-esk characters. It was a fun night and it was fun to share it with Grant, my mom and Grant's girlfriend Michele, who is a student at LVA. (LVA is the performing arts High School in town and they are amazing!)

We love theatre of all kinds and this was the BEST WEEK EVER!
