"Classics" in Charleston!

   I had a blast this morning attending the play Classics at the Charleston Municipal Auditorium! I got to see our own Emily Asbury tackling a number of different roles, from barbarian princess to dotty aunt to zombie sister! 

   She's part of a traveling show that stages a production made of several classic stories, including "Fall of the House of Usher," "The Lady or the Tiger" and "The Most Dangerous Game" (among others). 

   It's an outstanding production, with an excellent acting troupe of five actors (each managing numerous roles), outstanding sets (cleverly designed to tackle a number of functions - very impressive), great costumes and strong tech support (though they did have some mic problems at one point, naturally - the theatre curse - but these actors were pros and projected well without missing a beat). 


   I got to see the show with my lovely wife and my pals Jill, Gerald, Penny and Oma, along with a thousand (or more) students from area schools, including a group from Huntington High (which included at least one of my "Little Mermaid, Jr." cast - hi, Olivia!).

   The show is on the road to its next destination, but I thoroughly enjoyed it - highly recommended!
