K2 opens at BTF and Sara has a baby....in that order
Saturday night was Opening Night for the Berkshire Theatre Festival production of "K2". There is a really good preview video up on YouTube for you to check out.
Seriously, where can you go to see mountain climbing on stage IN A THEATER? Excellent production. Don't take my word for it. Check the reviews.
Larry Murray at Berkshire On Stage writes: "The play is about men, not mountains."
Charles Guiliano at Berkshire Fine Arts.com writes: "This is an awesome and fascinating production, tightly directed by Wes Grantom...."
J. Peter Bergman at Berkshire Bright Focus writes: "Keller is excellent as Harold. He matches intelligence and drug culture insights brilliantly.......McGeever, as said, wears his role proudly. He scales mountains, literally..."
As always, there was a fun opening night party at the theater after the production so that the audience can meet the actors, director, and designers. Later many of us adjourned to another party to continue the celebration.
And while all this drama was happening on stage, a real life drama was taking place in New York City. Just a week ago The Countess went to Sara's baby shower as reported here and on Saturday she went into labor. She wasn't due for two more weeks but as luck would have it, her mother had flown in from Florida that day and the Godfather was also able to be there to coach the Faery Princess into this crazy world.
Summer in the Berkshires has started off with a BANG! Looking forward to more good times next weekend when we have weekend guests, another BTF opening night, and maybe a Glenlivet or two :)

Welcome to the World, Azzurra. Sara, savor every moment. I wish you and Azzurra good health and happiness; and when Azzurra is old enough, please bring her to Joe's Pub and let her dance joyfully.
