Families are the compass that guide us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter. -- Brad Henry

Performing Arts

Since our youngest is now the only one home, we're finding more time to enjoy the arts.  Lucky for her to enjoy these productions!


The first one that came to Greenville was an astronaut.  He brought a slide show of his pictures and video footage, narrating what it was like to blast off into space, live at the space station, take a few space walks, and his re-entry back to Earth.


I didn't buy our tickets until the day of the performance, so I was excited to see that all seats were only $20 and the best seats in the house were still available!  I got us box seats, the opposite side in the front where you see the green arrow.  I picked her up early from the after-school program and surprised her with the event.

Here was the view from our seats...  So cool!  I've always wanted to sit in one of these.


The space talk was excellent!  I highly recommend it.  The little one didn't seem as enthusiastic about it, though.  She said she would have preferred to stay home.  Oh well, I enjoyed having someone watch it with me.

A few days later, Eric bought tickets for all three of us to see this musical performance at the Greenville Little Theater.  The actors were from local colleges or professional dancers/singers.  


Since this one was high energy, catchy songs, great story line (Bible-based), and involved actors, the little one was more engaged.  The set was incredible, and we loved every bit of this play!  Highly recommend this one, too!
