Beale Street Theater: Cinderella

Image
 Beale Street Theater presents a delightful Cinderella.  My daughter and I attended on Saturday p.m.  There are three more shows this coming weekend, Friday and Saturday.  I really enjoyed the step sisters, always arguing.  Their antics her very well done with scratching and laughing.  I also enjoyed the characters of the king and queen who were very regal, and the king very diplomatic to get a commitment from their son about marriage.  And Cinderella and Prince Christopher are very good together.  Blake Rawls directed.  This is the Rodgers and Hammerstein version.  I really enjoyed the sister duet, "What could he see in a girl like her" and the King and Queen singing their duet about boys and girls.  

Ghost Walk 2024

Image
For the ghost walk I mostly took pictures of re-enactors I know.  Some very interesting stories this year.  With the Chinese mafia murder they added an antique car in which the murderers arrived and drove off.    The Demkes and our neighbor told the story of the man who murdered his wife and then was hung and his head popped off.  This year we heard the story of a ghost at Brunswick Hotel from Paul David Placial and how the hotel was divided.   Chinese mafia murder in Kingman, The Rawls Brunswick hotel ghost, Paul David Ghost dance A new presentation inside the IOOF buiding Demkes and Rhi who owuldn't brak character for a pisture

Christmas 2024

 Christmas was very strange this year.  Everyone was someplace else and I was home alone.  Miranda and Tony had Christmas in Nebraska with Charity; Sheri had Christmas in Indiana with Jeremy.  I only have a couple pictures people sent me.

Thanksgiving Omaha 2024: Zoo, Fontenelle Forest and Wicked

Image
 We went to Omaha for Thanksgiving ho0ing to be qable to meet Charity's new baby.  Riley did not cooperate and was not born until the Monday after Thanksgiving.  We had to go home so Tony could go to school.  Sheri stayed to meet the baby. During the weekend we saw Wicked at the theater, went to a park down by the river; it was very cold, walked through Fontenelle Forest which was also cold but had a neat place for watching the birds, and to the zoo.  At the zoo we mostly went to indoor areas as it again was cold, aquarium, the jungle and gorilla house.  We also went ice skating.
