Awww Monday: day 1 and 2 vacation

 Hostess Sandee at Comedy Plus 

Thank you

  

The first day of our vacation (9/8) was spent with our dear friends Sally and Gary at their home in Yadkin County, NC
Both are retired teachers.  Gary has a small vineyard.  Pictured below. At the end of September, he has a pick your own event.  Folks come from all over for his grapes.

The second day of vacation (9/9) we four hopped in their car...drove ~2 1/2 hours southwest to Abingdon, VA. In July, we purchased tickets to see a Play at the Barter Theater~~

We selected Murder for Two...OMCs was it an excellent choice too.

Play was 1:45 minutes no intermission!!


MURDER FOR TWO

Book by Kellen Blair and Joe Kinosian, Lyrics by Kellen Blair, Music by Joe Kinosian

SEPTEMBER 5TH - NOVEMBER 2ND AT BARTER'S SMITH THEATRE

The perfect blend of music, mayhem and murder! In this hilarious 90-minute show, 2 performers play 13 roles — not to mention the piano — in a witty and winking homage to old-fashioned murder mysteries. Called “ingenious” by The New York Times, Murder for Two is definitely a must-see!


The description said: "A musical Comedy to Die For"
a Cast of Two and let me say these two young men were all kinds of talented.  Beautiful voices and both played piano.  At times they played the piano at the same time in crazy positions, standing, kneeling on bench and over each other.  
Zacchaeus Kimbrell* (on right) and Jacob Nuti* (on left)
*Click on names to read about them
Jacob was the local police investigating 'said murder' at a birthday party.
Zacchaeus played 6 different guests at the party.  He seamlessly transition into each character...w/o a wardrobe change.  He changed his voice, mannerisms and walking. 


This play started off a bit slow; however, within about 10 minutes it was rip roaring funny, entertaining we 4 were mesmerized by the talentThey had two standing ovations and and two finale musicals!!
***************
A real life event, happened in the row in front of us.
Out of nowhere an itty bitty spider came out of nowhere from above.
He traveled perfectly down his itty bitty single web between two men in front of us...then it quietly walked on the shoulder of the man in front of me...disappearing.  I thought I was the only one who saw it.  After the play, Sally asked if I saw it.  Thankfully we didn't make eye contact when we say it because I know we would have giggled uncontrollably.
