Daughter Mary Mae's family definitely has the amateur theatre bug! The four of them came over to Potlatch RV Park early this afternoon to go swimming with us at the big indoor pool. After an early supper of hamburgers, we left for the Skagit River Shakespeare Festival's presentation of
The Merry Wives of Windsor at their new amphitheater behind the Rexville Grange between Conroy and LaConner. The amphitheater was a marshy blackberry bramble a couple of years ago.
They've put up a stage in this natural cliff area for their outdoor theatre productions --
Tonight's production of the very funny
Merry Wives had are Granddaughter Claire playing the servant Rugby, here in this scene with Mistress Quickly --
Our Son-in-law Scott, on the left, played Frank Ford --
Scott's soliloquy as the jealous husband was masterful!
His interactions with Falstaff, the attempted seducer, were some of the funniest in the play --
MM's whole family has become involved in the amateur theater productions in the Skagit Valley. MM is one of the Stage Managers and Costumers. As there is no sound or lights for this production, Grandson Varick is taking a breather (usually he can be found with headphones on tending to microphones and such).
It ended up getting quite chilly once the sun started to go down. I was sure glad we had blankets in the back of Toad II!
