Back Into the Woods

Earlier this year Marina and I saw a small production of Into the Woods.  Recently we posters for another group performing the show. Marina wanted to see it again. So I bought tickets for us to see it this evening. Marina brought her Rapunzel plush doll with her.

We arrived a bit early, so we had time to use the restroom and buy drinks before we settled into our seats. Even so, Marina was restless for it to start. Once the show started she was very engaged. Act One was long and she got a little restless toward the end. But she still enjoyed the show.

Act Two was tougher for her. The story is not as fun and Marina was tired. She leaned on my arm for quite a bit of it. But once the show was over she perked up and wanted to meet some of the cast members. She talked a bit with the young lady who played Little Red Riding Hood. She is just a year older than Marina and attends the middle school where Marina wants to go next year. Next she spoke with the actress playing Cinderella. She talked with Marina for a few moments and posed for a picture with her. Last we looked for the the actress who was Rapunzel. She took some time to speak with us. She will be in a local production of The Magic Flute, a show we are planning to see.

When we left the theater we found it was raining fairly hard. We got to the car as quickly as we could. We were both wet and tired, but we’d had a fun evening.
