Yesterday I talked about the theater production cast and crew that had supper at our RV Park last night and how I had not obtained tickets to the play and they were sold out, and how they invited us to attend a dress rehearsal today in the restaurant where they will perform for their audiences over the next 4 days!!! (Deep breath cause that sentence went on forever!!) Well today is the day so we headed down to Pina Colada restaurant and bar for the dress rehearsal.
There were only a handful of people there so it was a very relaxed atmosphere. Apparently they have tried afternoon matinees before and found that people want this sort of entertainment in the evening. Well I can only say that we enjoyed it immensely!! I'm sure the actors appreciate bigger crowds to interact with. The four shows are sold out in the evenings I'm told so they will have the crowd tonight.
The Port Burwell Periscope Playhouse in Ontario is where most of these actors and support group have performed in the past and because they come to Mexico to take in some sun, they decided to start a theater group here. I'm not sure how many years they have been doing this here in Guayabitos. The actors we saw in the program today were not amateur's by any means. They played the parts well and you could tell that they love what they do.
The show was called "The Long Weekend" and was a play about............. you don't think I'm going to tell you do you??? Not till its over at least. It was a comical description of what could happen in anyone's lives. I have been to the Mayfield Dinner Theater in Edmonton and Celebrations in Winnipeg and this production was every bit as good as either of those places. Bravo to the cast and crew for a job well done.
That was the extent of our day except for witnessing another gorgeous sunset. Good Nite!!
That's awesome! Thanks for the mention of talent from our home province. Port Burwell also has great beaches. Been there a few times on the motorcycle.
