Since Hubby is on another MC trip (which I chose not to go on) I have had a busy week. Wednesday went to a Script Club meeting with staff from the Cleveland Playhouse. We read the script from "The Crucible" and discussed how they will produce it. That is a sobering play about the Salem Witch hunts and hangings in the 1690s. Haven't decided for sure if I will go see the play.
On Friday I drive almost an hour to see a foreign film, Gloria, which was made in Brazil. It was about a divorced women in her 50s who is trying to get her life back together. They had a discussion afterwards but it was 9:30 pm and I was tired and had an hour's drive home. It had great Brazilian music which made it more enjoyable.
On the topic of music, I was listing to Bossa Nova music from Brazil and came across a jazz singer, Diana Krall. Hubby would have been tearing out his hair, as he really does not like jazz. I love it. So it is great that I can listen to an hour or two on You Tube when he is not here.
One more cultural activity - Went to the Playhouse Square and saw "The Secret Garden" today. They did it as a musical. I'd give it an eight out of ten rating. Great actors and singers, but they had a problem with the sound. The music was much to loud.

One of the joys of retirement - having the time to enjoy these events.
Surprisingly loud performances are one of the many reasons why I keep an emergency pair of earplugs in my bag at all times. Also handy when the dog is barking in the car or when sharing a cabin with my snoring friend R :)
Wow, you really take in a lot of local culture. We only do that kind of thing when we travel.
I agree with RMG. It really is a good way to get the sound volume to acceptable levels.
omg, you are such a culture fiend!!!
