We took our few steps to the theatre where we found ourselves in the middle of a melodrama. If you have not been to a melodrama you should go - it requires audience participation. You see there are three principle characters: the hero, you root for; the damsel in distress, you sigh for; and the villain, you boo!! Oh did I forget to say you laugh a lot and throw popcorn at the villain and sometimes he will throw it back. Pat and Shirley were sitting by me and I have to tell you Pat has a great throwing arm. I think he hit the villain several times. When the lights went down I think Bea and her friend Tina threw the popcorn on the rest of us. Since, I did not take any pictures I could not prove it. It was a great time. It brought out the kid in all of us. If you would like to go on a day trip please check the TIHAA website (www.tihaa.org).
