Where for art thou?


Last night Michael and I went to the Children's Theatre performance of Romeo and Juliet... one of the greatest love stories of all time, and one of my favorites. The Capulets and Montagues... the fighting... and love making... its romantic. Epic. Classic.

The show was performed in promenade, where they acted around and throughout the audience. I've never been to a play in this fashion, and it's much different than a normal Guthrie-sit-down-intermission type show. I absolutely loved it.

We were so close, the sexual chemistry emanated from Romeo and Juliet. I'm surprised at how passionately they kissed and tore each others close off. I wasn't complaining but I'm sure the parents of smaller children were a tad shocked. If I had a lick of acting talent, just one bit, I would drop everything I have going on and try out for a play. Then you can all come watch me perform in all my glory, and throw roses at my feet when I'm finished. Or tomatoes. But I prefer roses.
