Went to see Treasure Island

Attended the matinee performance of Treasure Island at Plaza Theatre Company, good Saturday afternoon entertainment, AND we'll already have been there so Wednesday's auditions will be a little less stressful.

What a great show!  Very well done!  The set design was really clever; I was uber impressed!  Norseman was really impressed with the sword fights!  Everything was wonderful: the costumes were amazing, the lighting was perfect, and the performances were superb!  The young man who played Jim Hawkins... wow.  He's 14, but carried the entire play on his shoulders and did it so well you'd think he was a professional actor.

This time I was still wistful, but it was tempered, knowing that I'm gonna do my best to be on that stage soon. The theatre is really small, which is reassuring and intimidating at the same time.  Even a sold-out show is only 140 or so, but there's little room for error since the audience is so close to the action.
