Went hiking near the Inn at Little Washington. For those of us who don't get away enough, it's a short and fabulous break from the world. Hiked about 3 miles total - on very tired dancer legs - and loved every minute. a.k. gets major props for talking me into it when I tried to punk out. There's a fallen tree I'll remember fondly for the rest of my days!! Here's a pic of an old man we passed.

The opening of The Lieutenant of Inishmore was excellent. You all need to purchase your tickets NOW. BUY TICKETS HERE
Director Jeremy Skidmore got it right. As one patron said, "This production just made me love theater again." And, somewhere out there, a black cat is enjoying being rescued, adopted and loved as a direct result of this production. Way to go Signature!

THE LIEUTENANT OF INISHMORE
By Martin McDonagh
Directed by Jeremy Skidmore
On a lonely road on the island of Inishmore, someone killed an Irish Liberation Army enforcer’s cat. Padraic may be a terrorist, but he loves that cat more than life itself, and someone is going to pay for kitty’s execution… just as soon as Padraic returns from his stint of torture and chip-shop bombing in Northern Ireland. This witty, ironic, and wild look at the hypocrisy of violence escalates from mayhem to a hilarious surprise ending that leaves audiences gasping for breath. If you loved Sweeney Todd, you won’t want to miss The Lieutenant of Inishmore.
EXTENDED! September 23 – November 16, 2008
A viciously funny tale that contains mature themes, adult language, and graphic depictions of violence. No cats were harmed in the creation of this play.
