Since I have barely read any blogs, I hardly feel qualified to create my own. But we are now embarked on a year long adventure before I return to teaching Fall 2010 (does that ever have a lovely sound!), I thought I would give this a shot.
Annie is designing two shows in South Dakota at the Black Hills Playhouse located in Custer State Park. The theatre is in its 61st year in an old CCC camp built during the depression. Her first show to open, The Sugar Bean Sisters, (Starring Marcia Wallace of Bob Newhart Show and Simpsons fame), opened last Thursday. Her second show, Suds, will open July 9. On July 10, we head back to LA for the final dash of packing the apartment by July 25. (More on that later)
The park is full of game - deer, turkeys, elk, donkeys, and very large herds of buffalo. Some of the males who were kicked out of the herd. This fellow took a liking to the camp first joining us for the first strike. Walking around a corner and being face to face to a buffalo is a bit unnerving.
A couple of days later I was distressing a costume for Annie, and the producer told me I'd better look up. Our friend was back giving the me the once over .
On the road to Hot Springs, we passed a herd ROAMING on one side of the road and antelope PLAYING on the opposite side. Had there only been DEER, I would have had the perfect picture!
Cheers!
