Porgy and Bess

After finishing up the tree, Marina and I got ready to go out. We had tickets to see Porgy and Bess at the Aurora Fox Theater. We had invited some of our friends to join us. We had the same seats we sat in for Dracula and it turned out the people in front of us did too! We enjoyed talking to them before the show started.

The story line of Porgy and Bess was a more mature one. It had fights and murder, drug usage and racial tension. I explained some of the issues to Marina before and after the show. Despite all the serious issues in the show, Marina enjoyed the music and dance sequences.

After the show, we stayed around and met up with some of the actors. The actor who played Porgy had been Dracula and he remembered meeting us last month. We also chatted with an actress who starred in Dreamgirls, which we saw nearly two years ago. After meeting the actors we saw the house manager was waiting to close the theater, so we hurried out. It was a fun evening.
