Travelling Theatre Troupe
~~~~~Ansa, taking a break from rehearsals~~~~~
Our cast and crew of my play were 'away' this past weekend, so we made a 'time' of it. 'Time' being part of the Newfoundland lexicon.
time n DC ~ n (1950, 1963); cp DAE 10: on a time 'spree' (1855 quot), NID 12 c 'carousal.' A party or celebration, esp a communal gathering with dancing, entertainment, etc; cp SCOFF n
Cast and crew number 12 of us, well 13 when you include my dog Ansa, who has become an integral part of rehearsals and getaways and is quite spoiled by everyone.
I've talked about this amazing cast before but given the afore-mentioned 'time' more talents unfolded. One actor channels Bob Dylan in his spare time and another rivalled KD Lang in a performance of Hallelujah. We had to drag ourselves off to bed as I think we could have partied until dawn, but had our audience to keep in mind for a top-notch performance of the play the following day.
I'm beyond delighted to be a part of all this, especially with Grandgirl in tow who said to me coming home in the car:
"Boy, grandma, I sure wish that looking down the road, my gang can have this kind of fun once we're older!"
Amen, baby. Amen.
~~~~~~~Curtain call and standing ovation.~~~~~~~

Did I hear you singing 'A group of strolling players are we...!' from Kiss me Kate? Are you still planning on bringing the show to Ireland?
You go girl, as they say in my country.
There is never an end to the great experiences to be had in life. I'm glad to hear that you spend it in good company and can share it with your granddaughter.
I'd love to have heard renditions akin to both Dylan and kd!
Enjoy WWW - and GG. :-)
