Spamalot week 4

After our soggy one nighter in Bethlehem, PA last week (there were tornado warnings and all kinds of flooding all through PA), we moved to Worcester, MA for the entire weekend. It was fantastic to be home for a few days and since Brian graciously came to pick me up at the theatre on Friday, I got to drive back and forth to the theatre in my cute little car!

Worcester has a beautiful theatre, and it's right down the street from Coney Island Weiners. By the end of the weekend, even UNO's was deserted by most of the cast and crew in favor of Coney Island!

Monday we drove to Keene, NH which is a lovely little New England town famous for its annual Pumpkin Festival. The town was already decorated in anticipation and it put us all in the autumnal spirit. Although the theatre was too small to accomodate our entire set, the crew made it work and the audience was very enthusiastic!

Yesterday we moved on to Orono, ME and we got to town in plenty of time for several members of the company to rent canoes and kayaks and go for a short paddle down the river right behind our hotel. We played the show on campus at the University of Maine and the crowd was standing room only. Afterward we spent time hanging out with some of the locals and playing pool at Woodman's. No lobster rolls yet on this trip, but the fact that it's the season for Shipyard's Pumpkin beer on draft makes up for the lack of fishy goodness!

Today we're back on the bus headed for Concord, NH. Can't wait!
