Parties, Plays, and more Parties....Part Two
Saturday The Countess had a luncheon party in the treehouse. My friends are internet shy and so their picture will not grace The Countess Blog. But the deck was festive and, since the sun started shining again, my flowering plants are blooming beautifully. Delicious food was catered by a local restaurant, good times were discussed, and a glass of Glenlivet might have been shared.
That night was opening night for "Sick" playing at the Berkshire Theatre Festival Unicorn Theatre until September 6. You can get tickets HERE.
Greg Keller, Lisa Emery, and Michel Gill, Berkshire Theatre Festival photoA small home on the Lower East Side of Manhattan is the only safe haven for the children of the Krebs family. But despite Mrs. Krebs’ attempts to protect her family with scrubbers, masks, and isolation, the delicate balance is brought to the breaking point when her husband’s academic career brings a stranger into their safe house. In its New England Premiere, Sick seeps onto the stage as a terrifying family drama filled with dark comedy, mistrust, and shocking realism.
Sir James, Rock Baron of the Berkshires, was my date for the theater. Tara, you have no worries! Everyone reminded me that he is engaged to you....LOL!
After the theater we went to Moe's Tavern. Janine is posing here with Kyle, Kyles wife, James, and Tara.....
And I got a great picture of James with Sadie, the weekend bartender at Moe's who takes such good care of all of us.
Then we were off to the Paint Shop Party! This party is really for the interns and apprentices but they always ask The Countess to stop by for a visit. There is usually a theme associated with these parties that are related to the play that opened that night. I'm not too sure what the theme was that night but the kids all seemed to be having a fabulous time!
Sunday morning I was up early to attend the 10:30 am performance of "Xingu" at the Mount. I posted previously about taking 15 of the acting apprentices to see the play. Even though I almost never rise before noon, it was worth the effort just to enjoy a wonderful morning filled with theater and great people.
Now it was time for my afternoon nap! At 7:30 pm the Great Birthday Bash for Davo started at the Cork 'N Hearth. My, my....there must have been 200 people there! And entertainment by the Tanglewood Stage Hand Band!!
Here is David receiving his special Countess Card naming him "Sir David, Duke of 'Davo' Shire".
Ron and Pete made room at their table for The Countess. Always a pleasure to see these two gentlemen....
Andrew and Laura posed with the Birthday Boy....
It was a really special night for a special friend. David got a little teary eyed introducing so many old friends, even a girl he went to kindergarten with!
On my way home I stopped into Rumpy's Tavern for a nightcap and who should come in but Tony Lee Thomas. I love hanging out with Tony. You can catch him at The Dream Away Lodge tomorrow night! Troy snapped our picture with a new friend, Mark....
Now it is almost midnight on Sunday night and The Countess needs to rest! What a fabulous weekend filled with Parties, Plays, and more Parties!!!
