On Theatre

Sharing some late summer views of the Greek Theatre at Cranbrook in Bloomfield, MI, of which you can visit at [www.cranbrook.edu]. A most beautiful collection of architecture, art & formal gardens. Yes, the Greeks, what a civilization, what a culture, they gave us so much. Where it all began.


Last night my husband & I joined a group of friends for dinner & a play. We went to see an excellent performance of community theatre in downtown Putnam, Ct., at the Bradley. Paul Newman & Joanne Woodward would have loved it. Who would have thought that a story regarding three widows, who's main monthly agenda, to visit a cemetery together, would prove to be, so meaningful & downright hilarious. It certainly had all the essential elements, good acting & timing in a theatre that was once part of the vaudevillian glory days.
