On Sunday night I went with...I had a great weekend! On Sunday night I went with a friend to a little storefront cabaret theater in the city to see Light in the Piazza. I was just blown away by the incredible talent. Some of the cast greeted us at the door in their broken Italian and served us our Italian dinners, and then we were treated to the show. I don't think the cabaret theater seats more than 50 people, so the performers weren't miked...we had their pure voices. All of them had BFA's or MFA's in vocal performance or opera (from Northwestern, the Manhatten School of Music, and several Chicago music conservatories). I saw a larger performance a couple of years ago with some singers from the Lyric Opera of Chicago, but this production surpassed that one, I think because of the intimacy of the theater experience with the strong vocal talent. I would go back again, except all of their remaining performances through July are sold out.<br /><br />On Memorial Day we had some of our church small group over for dinner. Since it was really hot (close to 100 with no backyard shade), the 8 of sat sat around the dining room table and ate and laughed for a few hours. <br /><br />What a great weekend...and summer is just around the corner!Cheryl A.noreply@blogger.com
