A Perfect Play and Performance

Pioneer Memorial Theater performed the play, Emma, recently. I had to go, so I bought the cheapest tickets, $27 and invited Melody to come get some refinement with me. The matinee was full of old folks like me, but she was a good sport. The stage was beautiful and amazing. A hidden door opened up in the floor so a bench could pop up. Two rotating twelve foot circles, also in the floor, made it possible for the actors to appear to be walking, but not go anywhere. Finely decorated panels moved back and forth, from side to side for no reason, but to keep us entertained while the set was quickly transformed. What great seats we had in the amazing theater.

That evening Allan and I went to the Utah Symphony. It was time to do it all, or if I waited too long to buy the tickets, do nothing. I took the leap and paid the price driving to Abravanel Hall on my lunch hour to get the tickets. Pictures could not be taken during the performance, but that didn't stop me from snapping some interesting ones of the before and after scenes. This gold leafed theater is close to being in heaven. Look at the interesting pattern the lights in the great entry hall make. Take the leap and attend a play, performance or 'piece of work' this spring.
