Sometimes it seems if it weren't for our children we would do nothing but work. Yesterday, with help from my daughter, we experienced a little culture right here on Cape Cod. Thanks to her first grade friendship with a little actress we were drawn to see "The Sound of Music" performed by very talented Cape Codders at the historical Academy of Performing Arts in Orleans, MA. Living on the Cape can sometimes take the fashion out of your dress, the style away from your hair, and very often the "popular" out what you know about pop culture, but if you take the time you will be surprised to find the cultural experiences available. It was our first show at the Academy in Orleans which at first it reminded me of old small-town theatres found in college towns dimly lit with layers of paint on antique beadboard and pipes crossing the ceilings, but once we climbed the creaky stairs we were pleased to find a theatre in the round (or square as it may be) where the ushers take each guest to their seat- because you would never find it without their savvy. After a witty introduction by the director, we were treated to a wonderful production of one of our favorite things, "The Sound of Music"! We loved it and we joyfully can't wait to go back for more!
