Making the most of it

Dahlgren, VA
Hello Friends!

Last week in Columbia, SC was crazy and very rewarding. We got moved around from various rehearsal locations and we didn't know who would be in the show until show day. The performances went well (as well as they could have gone considering the circumstances) and we made great friends with the Williamson Family who treated to us to a meal and some family time, something our tour has been missing (interaction with a family? On an MCT Tour!? I never thought I would miss it so!). If you are reading this Williamson's thank you!

We had another Saturday off in hot and humid Columbia, SC. Now just so you know, we did our research. We honestly did. But there is NOTHING to do in Columbia. We walked around the state capital building which was nice and then we went to the art museum of which we only visited the gift shop because we weren't too thrilled to pay to go it.Other then that down town Columbia was a ghost town. Which was alright because two of our two friends were able to meet up with us and we had a TAD party that night back at the hotel.


The next morning both teams caravaned to Virgina a much longer drive then anticipated. It was fun switching out passengers and drivers and catching up. We did stop at a place called South of the Border. The only way I can describe it is the Wall Drug of the south. It was really scuzzy. It was at least 99 degrees outside, we were surrounded by cranky and crazy tourist and the place was a mad house. We got some fun pictures (that is the ladies trying to ride a large and scalding hot wiener dog... good times), played with a whole bunch of the crap they had sprinkled in their gift shops, and then got on the road.

Auditions went well in Dahlgren today. It's a small county and the base is the largest employer in the county. The staff and kids are very excited and I even to play the Beast this week! There will be pictures for sure.
