Loving Every Minute of Blue Man Group



A few months ago I attended Blue Man Group with my 12 year old son. We were fortunate to have seats just behind the splash zone. 

He loved every minute of it. And I loved seeing the excitement and joy on his face. 

He thought it was great to be blasted by paper, so he  saved every bit of paper he could get his hands on, wrapping himself in it like clothing. We probably looked very odd walking down the street after that, but he was happy. 

The teenage years of indifference are just around the corner, so I savored the moment.

A Treasured Keepsake from Cats



When we took our three daughters to see Cats at the Fox Cities P.A.C., the tickets were so affordable that we were able to get front row seats right in the center. Our daughters who love dance and drama were so captivated being close enough to see the actor's make-up and the detail of their costumes.  

But the highlight of that afternoon has to be when our youngest daughter received the lapel flower from the cat in white spats during the show. She still has it as a most treasured keepsake. 

She asked for the DVD of Cats soon after we saw the show at the Center. Now she dances and performs for us while watching the DVD and her special flower is always right there with her.

An Act of Christmas Kindness


My daughter and son-in-law were in town and got tickets for A Christmas Carol in 2011. 

I wished I had arranged to get a ticket. I work downtown, was working late and met them briefly prior to the show in the ticket area.  

While chatting with them, a man approached us and asked if we needed a ticket because his wife was ill and could not attend. I felt bad and did not have any money to offer him for the ticket. He and his daughter were kind to share their extra ticket with me without any expectation, to make my holiday nicer. 

It was an act of kindness and a demonstration of Christmas spirit.
