A Mother/Daughter weekend....or how the Principessa conquered the Berkshires!
It all started last Thursday night. The Principessa and I drove out to the Summer Palace. It was about 9 o'clock in the evening when we arrived and before I could blink an eye, the little darling was in her pjs, all ready to settle in for the night. "Is that what you are wearing out tonight?", I asked sweetly. "Oh, are we going out? I thought we were staying in for a relaxing evening." Poor deluded child; she just doesn't have a clue!
And so she put on her Princess shirt and off we went to Rumpy's Tavern. But it was The Countess who really didn't have a clue! The Principessa was quickly dubbed "The Baby Countess" and she proceeded to take over the joint.
She roped Troy in right away.
Then Adam joined in.
Next thing I knew, she was the middle of an Adam-Troy sandwich!
Here we are with Jason Asprey who is one of the principal actors at Shakespeare & Co.
Michael Allen Lowe bowed to her charms.
The Baby Countess was the hit of the evening!
The next day we relaxed a bit on the deck with martinis and Glenivet.
Then it was off to the Barrington Stage Company in Pittsfield to see the Tony award winning musical "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee". During the performance, one of the characters, Chip, develops a crush on another character's sister, Marigold, who is supposedly sitting in the audience. You guessed it! The Baby Countess was singled out to be Marigold! And she got two pieces of candy for her trouble! A totally fun play and fun evening.
Then it was off to Michael's of Stockbridge. My Berkshire Theatre Festival friends were going there after their current production (The Caretaker) let out that evening. We met up with Travis and Justina....
And made some new friends with some of the BTF alumni who were in for the big 80th birthday celebration weekend. Here is The Countess with Jeremy and Luke...
Susan and Melissa, the most beautiful Friday night bartenders, always take good care of The Countess...
We ended the evening with last call at Rumpy's Tavern with Sir Stew, First Knight of the Berkshires, Lady Erin, and Baron Ricky.
Saturday was the big 80th Birthday Celebration for the Berkshire Theatre Festival. Dinner parties, theater, after parties, and after-after parties were the agenda for the night. Stay tuned for more details!
