last performance, cast party

I hopped up Sunday morning (4/28) and started right in on making cornbread (to go with the soup) and the dough for onion buns (to go with the lasagna).  While I was working on that, Michael made us a terrific mushroom/spinach/cheese omelet and toast, which we shared for breakfast.  We cleaned up from that and set out as much party stuff (dishes/napkins/silverware/etc) as we could before leaving at 1PM for the theatre.  It was another wonderful show…but really sad when it was all over  L.  My neighbor came over while we were at the show to put in the lasagna and enchiladas…so the house smelled wonderful when we got home.  I got the rolls baked and people started arriving…it was a terrific day and evening:

Lauren (stage mgr), David (husband), Jack (son), Jason (asst stage mgr), Elyse (the star Becky), Brett (my love interest!), Caitlen (ingénue), Michael (Becky's love interest!), Deb (Ginger), and Polly (THE DIRECTOR!)

It was just a great show, a great cast, a great group of people.
