"Crazy for You"


JB and I have season tickets at CenterPoint Legacy Theatre this year. (It's the same theater where I perform improv in the black box most Fridays, don't ya know?) Considering all of the years I've been associated with Rodgers Memorial Theatre and now CPLT, it may seem odd that this is the first time I've actually held season tickets. (My sister used to work in the box office, and it's good to have friends in high places, and all that.)

So it goes.

Anyhow, we caught the latest show, Crazy for You, last week, and we really enjoyed it. Neither of us knew much about what we were in store for with this one. But we were pleasantly surprised with a number of memorable George and Ira Gershwin tunes along with a lot of tap dancing.

I was also pleasantly surprised to find an ad for our troupe in the playbill:


The thing of it is, nobody in the troupe knows how it got there. I asked the other directors about it, and none of them had an idea that we had an ad currently running. Well, we're not complaining. All told, I'm happy to see CPLT supporting what we feel is a very worthwhile cause. Speaking of which, they put on pretty good shows on their main stage, too, and you should definitely attend when you can. The next one up is The Pirates of Penzance, and from what I've caught of their rehearsals, it'll be another great one.
