The word theatre comes from the Greeks. It means the seeing place. It is the place people come to see the truth about life and the social situation. ~ Stella Adler

Blogging From A to Z – P

“P” is for phantom; as in Phantom of the Opera.

When my daughter graduated from high school she requested a trip to New York City, in lieu of a graduation party. Obviously, the trip cost more than I would’ve spent on a party, but it was something we both wanted to do together as a way to celebrate her graduation. It was also a great excuse to travel!!

One of our many experiences was seeing Phantom of the Opera at the Majestic Theatre on West 44th Street in midtown Manhattan. With 1,645 seats, it’s one of the largest Broadway venues and has traditionally been used for major musical productions.

Andrew Lloyd Webber’s masterpiece is the longest running show, which is in its 25th year. This haunting love story continues to wow audiences and is well worth the price of the ticket. If you get the chance be sure to see it!

Mundane Monday Challenge #55

Birds of a feather usually flock together, but this solitary fellow was off by himself gazing out at the water.

I got to thinking about how I love to sit by the ocean and reflect on my life: past, present and future. Away from other people and the hustle bustle of daily living. The only conversation I engage in is with myself. My feet buried in the warm sand and feeling the cool sea breezes against my face.

Since we have much in common with animals, I wondered if he was doing and feeling the same things. 

Or, if he was merely contemplating which direction to fly in order to make a tasty catch for dinner.

Which, if I sit on the beach long enough, I do, too. Yes, we are alike.

Blogging From A to Z – O

“O” is for outer, as in the Outer Banks of North Carolina.

These barrier islands separate the Atlantic Ocean from the mainland and consist of:  Hatteras, Bodie, Oracoke, Roanoke, and Ile d’Ocracoke. The beaches, state parks, ship wreck diving sites, and lighthouses make this a popular vacation destination.

Over thirty years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, a group of 117 weary men, women and children waded ashore and made history on Roanoke Island in July 1587, establishing the first permanent settlement of its kind in the Americas.

Three years later the colony and all its inhabitants had vanished. Their fate has been the subject of many theories and the story is reenacted every summer during performances of  The Lost Colony, the nation’s longest symphonic drama. If you visit the Outer Banks, be sure to see this wonderful production!
