Friday was my Mom’s birthday; she’s 82 and still going strong, amen! Being the good daguther that I am!!, we celebrated by following her suggestion and going to the theatre in New Richmond to see Fiddler on the Roof by the Willow River Players. Our longtime friend, Cindy Brown Bauer and her new hubby were in the play so we thought it would be fun to see them on stage together. (It was!)
The play was held at the New Richmond High School. The auditorium was fabulous and lovely, I guess that’s what you get when you spend about $57 million. The whole campus looked great and very welcoming. Hudson is only dreaming about getting such a building.
The play was quite good, and then at intermission time we wandered out to the lobby for a break. I saw folks from all over Hudson and beyond. Old co-workers, our HSO mailman (who was there to watch his niece), neighbors, the owner of Carbone’s in Roberts, Liz, and a lot of cultural arts enthusiasts. It sure was nice to see the support the Willow River Players receive from the area.
The play was an affordable night out, Mom enjoyed it and we were home by 10 p.m. So hats off to the WRP for another great production.
