We have season tickets for two theater seasons - the Davis Musical Theater Center in Davis and the Chautauqua theater in Carmichael. It is a good 30 to 35 minute drive to Davis and 3 to 5 minutes to Chautauqua. We usually try to go to a good restaurant just prior to the show as it makes it more of a nice outing.
Can you guess which theater we've always been on time for and which one we often just run in before curtain time?
We did it again two weeks ago. We took a couple of good friends with us to see "Leading Ladies" at the Chautauqua. A new Mexican Restaurant called El Palmar has just opened in the area and the first time we went there it was crowded but service was still excellent. We decided to try there again. This time there was again a huge crowd but this time it was over 45 minutes before we were seated. The service was also a little slower than the last time we were there. We asked for the check early as well as some take home boxes. They were just closing the auditorium doors as we picked up our tickets and went through the entrance to find our seats.
We were soon caught up in the action of the play, a lovely farce with two Shakespearian actors dressing in drag in an attempt to inherit a large estate and kick start their acting careers. We didn't let the close call of our arrival detract from the enjoyment of the play.
