Day Three

As I mentioned yesterday, this has been a really extra special and relaxing trip and I have so needed it. This past year has been really stressful at times and this has been the ticket to freedom. IMHO, this is the only way to experience the Utah Shakespearean Festival. If you can afford it, taking a whole week (1 show per evening) to see the festival. It is very relaxing and it gives you a lot of spare time to enjoy the surroundings and to visit the parks, lakes, etc. It's wonderful!

"Henry V" was magnificent. I admit, a bit long, but I didn't care. I enjoyed every moment of it. It is the must see of the outdoor plays this season. Tonight we're off to see "Foxfire" and then to experience the "Cabaret" @ the Grind Coffee House. It's a cabaret of acts from the festival company that helps raise funds to buy travel for casting agents to come to Cedar City. Basically, helps the company find work after their time here at the festival. It's a worthy cause! These poor actors, technicians, stage managers, etc. are out of casting/hiring loop during their stay here in out of the way Cedar City and they need all the help they can get.

It has been nice and cool for the past few days. I counted my blessings. It was a nice change from up north, but all good things must come to an end. Yesterday was a scorcher. This summer has really been hot! Ta ta for now!
