Gaslight Theater - The Lone Stranger

Gerry did play the powerball on Saturday and wound up winning again.  She had 3 of the winning numbers and wound up with $7.00 in her pocketbook.  Now that doesn't sound like a lot, but it is the first time we've had more than 2 of the winning numbers.  She's on a roll.

Gerry and I along with a number of rvers from Cactus Country RV Resort attended the Gaslight Theater Sunday's showing of "The Lone Stranger".  My memory must be slipping but we saw the same show around 10 years ago and it took me a while to realize that.  I checked back through our photos and came across this one with Gerry, me, Ron & Dee attending "The Lone Stranger" in 2008.

The same two actors were featured a couple years ago in the same play and were great again.

 Little Anthony's diner is part of the theater complex and many people enjoyed having lunch there.  We had a small lunch before we arrived at the theater, so we passed this time.

The seats weren't reserved buy number and it was first come first served.  Gerry and I were first in line and snared a nice table with the aisle in front of us.  We had a great view and also a lot of room to spread out.
 
They have small tables bunched together in the theater.  You could order drinks, meals, etc to enjoy during the performance.  Free popcorn was on all the tables.  The stage is quite small and they use some imaginative props to get their message across.  The piano player, guitarist and drummer sit to the side of the stage and provide the background music, along with playing country songs and some oldies but goodies during intermission.

We started off with a beer and a glass of wine to go with the popcorn.  Later we ordered nachos and tried to eat them in the dark.  I won't go into detail how that went over.

 We enjoyed the play and had a lot of laughs.  The actors played to the crowd and encouraged audience participation.  They had a simple story line but the actors did a great job pulling it off.

 After the play was over the actors came back and sang a number of songs.  The lead singer and actor had a great voice and sang songs made famous by Merle Haggard, Garth Brooks and others.

 Most of the cast came out and performed some dancing and singing featuring the girl in the middle.  She had a nice voice and the other two were great also.

 Out came Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson and they did a great job.  Willie sounded a lot like the real Willie Nelson and I don't know much about Merle Haggard so can't comment on how they compared but he sounded great.

We enjoyed the show very much and are looking forward to attending another show later in March.  

 That was our day, how was yours?
