Treat yourself to a present this season. Go see a Christmas play or a concert locally, on a small stage, where you can see the expressions and the glow in the eyes of the entertainers. You'll be pleasantly surprised by the local talent that surrounds you!
Here in Putnam, we have the Bradley Playhouse. I treat myself to a season's ticket each year. It is inexpensive and the best, most enjoyable form of entertainment that I can think of the spend my $$$ on!
Tonight I saw the Dickens' classic, A Christmas Carol. It is one of those stories that I've read a gazillion times and have seen a gazillion versions of; movies, plays, cartoons and any other production form you can think of.
And STILL, the Bradley manages to leave me thrilled and amazed. Local people - local kids - putting on a fantastic production! A friend's two children (Kody and Lexi Brunet), performed wonderfully tonight!
As the pleased crowd left the theater, snowflakes were flying, and the lights of the town sparkled. There is no wonder I am a Putnamaniac. This is my beautiful town and life!
If you are not in or near Putnam, find something near you and go! Even if you don't think it will be your cup of tea, open your mind and just go. I think you will be pleasantly surprised and entertained!
Honor Christmas in your heart, and try to keep it all the year.
I am a Putnamaniac thanks to the Bradley Playhouse which "continues to show me things, since I am not past all hope"... to steal a few of Chuck Dickens' words...
