THE MARVELOUS WONDERETTES

We went out on a Friday night date. 

 

It wasn't a "Burger King drive-thru and rent-a-DVD and sit in front of the TV" date.  We actually had to pay more than $10 this time.

 

Two or three times a year Debra and I  go out on a special date to the Oregon Cabaret Threatre.  We arrive at 6:30 p.m. and select our dinner from a fine menu.  Then the play starts at 8:00 p.m.

 

This show portrayed four girls who graduated from high school together in 1958.  They reconnected in 1968 when one of them was getting married.  It was funny and entertaining and filled with a ton of songs from that era.

 

We tried taking a selfie from our front row balcony table, showing the stage in the background beneath us.

Unsatisfied with our selfie, we asked our waiter if he could take a picture for us.

The Oregon Cabaret Theatre is famous for its magnificent crystal chandelier that was salvaged from a 1927 movie palace in Lansdale, Pennsylvania.  We could touch it from our table if our arms were only about ten feet longer.

There was a brief moment during our date in which Debra was annoyed about something.  I can't remember what annoyed her, but I'm pretty sure it had nothing to do with me.
