So Much Local Talent!

Witness for the Prosecution by Agatha Christy, have you seen it? It's currently playing at Home Made Theater at the Spa Little Theater in Saratoga Springs, NY. Wonderful performance!!! Not being too familiar with Agatha Christy I was totally stunned by the ending! The set was very cleverly designed and easily changed for each scene.

We spent Sunday afternoon enjoying Witness for the Prosecution with friends. As I was watching this group of talented performers I couldn't help but ask myself, "Why don't we do this more often?" There are so many amateur performance venues in the area where we could support the local arts and enjoy a good plot line while spending time away from home and the TV. 

Of course, Saratoga is a gem of a city on its own so I must mention that after the performance we enjoyed delicious burgers at Druthers, and participated in Sunday night trivia at Circus Cafe. What a busy and fun day!

If you can't make this performance of Witness for the Prosecution which ends on February 23 perhaps you would be interested in their next play, Boeing Boeing. The information below on Boeing, Boeing is from the Home Made Theater website.

“This latest edition of a play named for an aircraft soars right out of its time zone and into some unpolluted stratosphere of classic physical comedy.” – The New York Times
It’s the 1960s, and swinging bachelor Bernard couldn’t be happier: a flat in Paris and three gorgeous stewardesses all engaged to him without knowing about each other. But Bernard’s perfect life gets bumpy when a new and speedier Boeing jet throws off all of his careful planning. Soon all three stewardesses are in town simultaneously and catastrophe looms. A riotous farce is now set to arrive in Jet City—fasten your seat belts!
