It se...How does one manage to eat ice cream loudly? It seems like the quietest food, cones aside (oh god, were there cones?!). <br /><br />01. I'm not sure, but not nearly enough to qualify as an afficionado. But hey, I only took one Shakespeare class in college so I hardly qualify on any level. <br /><br />02. I honestly can't remember the last time I went to the theater but I think it may have been back when drug reps were still allowed to take health care professionals out to woo them. i.e. Back when my mom was an NP and we were regularly wined and dined as a family. Soooooo ... over a decade? I'd say that makes me cringe, but honestly, live theater is not my thing and I've spent years feeling guilty about it but I think it's time to just admit it. <br /><br />03. I think my prior comment now makes this question N/A.<br /><br /><br /><br />ARE WE STILL FRIENDS? I did get to see Merchant of Venice in the Globe theater and enjoyed that whole experience. I did not eat ice cream.<br /><br />Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06819528155575569595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134668.post-5161030186571364312014-03-11T18:24:25.504-07:002014-03-11T18:24:25.504-07:001.

And I know I saw Bill Hurt in Hamlet, since he famously practiced his lines in the Ophelia scene with me. But beyond that, I do not know. Sands of time in action.<br />2. The production of Coriolanus that I was in, in college. I played his wife. I had 2 lines. The college newspaper liked my eyes.<br />3. I will eat any time and anywhere I am hungry, if it is permitted.LPChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18209861350905135093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134668.post-34361655860884714452014-03-11T12:49:34.366-07:002014-03-11T12:49:34.366-07:001.

Worst: Gounod's opera adaptation of Romeo et Juliette performed by my university's opera department. Romeo's toupee was unbelievable. Best: an outdoor summer theater production of Much Ado about Nothing seen in the woods of Wisconsin while a midwestern thunderstorm brewed in the distance.<br />3. No. But I'm a serious picnicker for outdoor productions.Erinhttp://www.thefamiliarwilderness.comnoreply@blogger.com
