I hope it’s over too. We pretty much managed to silence the culturally ignorant ones though. I like it when that happens.

BTW, I saw many of the classics when it was my good fortune for my folks to take us to Rome’s Baths of Carracalla, many years ago. When I saw the elephants come on stage in Aida, I thought I would faint. Such a production!!

Cheers!

Yes, I think they’ve quietly exited - although sometimes they creep back when we are all asleep!

Oh, I’ve heard about these productions of Aida in Rome! You lucky devil, you. Don’t faint: we need you to fight the people here who are so proud to be ignorant. Makes me sad.

‘_______silence the culturally ignorant ones_____’

Our home school mom adult daughter is doing her best to keep the great broadway musicals going through this generation.
Her 3 young daughters know lots of tunes, and some shows. They perform an assortment of scenes, with other home schoolers.
The 12 year old participates in local community theater, and is taking a Shakespeare course. Loves it!

Another home school mom about 20 minutes away, is doing a similar thing in her family/home school community there. Both these women know each other from church.

There's hope!
