An Early Birthday Present
Yesterday afternoon, my husband treated me to an evening of theatre and dinner. I had requested it specifically for my birthday as I love theatre, but didn't know what play we would actually end up seeing. I had suggested Wicked or Blue Man Group.
He surprised me with tickets to see Circus Nexus at a local university.
Similar to Cirque du Soleil (I think that is how you spell it), which is based out of Canada, Circus Nexus is the American version and showcases many talents in acrobatics, dance, balance, etc.
And every circus has to have a clown. Last night's clown was a man who looked sort of like Charlie Chaplain and was supposed to be a custodian. He picked my husband out of the crowd and took him on stage and taught him to juggle pins. It was hilarious as he made my husband wear something that looked like a steel colander over his groin area to "protect" him. I wish I could have gotten a picture of that.
Afterward, we had dinner at an Italian restaurant we hadn't gone to yet. It was delicious and ended a perfect evening.
Ahh, I love theatre!
(off to find out which production I want to see next... )
