Putting a temporary finish to our feast of opera and theatre, tonight we saw The Capitol Steps at Cranwell. They are appearing in a new venue across the street from the Inn in the midst of the golf course.
The cast: Evan Casey, Jenny Corbett, Kevin Korbett, Morgan Duncan, Delores Williams, accompanied by the remarkable Marc Irwin (he played the whole show in semi gloom from memory!!), produced a series of impressions of Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Joe Biden, Sonia Sotomayor, the Notorious RBG, Bob Dylan, and on and on.
Much of it was very funny, though I thought last year's show was better. They played to a packed house and we all had a great time.
No more theatre for at least a week. This weekend is all about teaching voice!
