Mighty Mississippi

Tonight we played as close to the Mississippi river as you can get without being in the river.  The theatre is in Cape Girardeau, MO.  It was a beautiful space in a beautiful setting.  The lighted structure you see behind the theatre is the bridge that crosses the Mississippi River into Illinois.  It was another sold out performance which is awesome.  Almost all of our shows to this point have been sold out or very close to it.  Hopefully that is a trend that will continue after the layoff.

Most of our local helpers tonight were college students.  It was great for them, but I could tell that it made our crews job a bit more challenging.  It was a great show, though, and one of our best audiences thus far.  It is always exciting to perform for an audience that so obviously appreciates your effort

Today was our company managers birthday so we had two cakes at the theatre tonight.  One to celebrate his birthday and the other just because we were here.  The wife of the local production manager made this cake for us.  It was really sweet, in more ways than one.  It is always special to have strangers treat us in extra special ways.
