We saw the G & s pirates of Penzance at Stratford Theatre last night. It was awesome and ok for me I know the gist of it.

I sat in the disabled row right beside the sound tech. 2 disguised apple computers with 4 screens, the sound guy the director and the maestro had each "module" to a click track and the audio guy was speeding up or down to stay in sync. At one point he stood up and shrugged at everyone in front, 45 rows away, palms up like saying w.t.hey.

Sliders were automated returning home after ranch segment, I heard some midi stuff like church bells and explosions.

Q when is g and s stuff public domain.

Anyway, good friends, some wine, steak (awesome), music and laughs. Stratford Ontario is a great place 45Minutes for me each way.

It's only a couple hours for me. I should make more of an effort.


I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

Love the Stratford Festival.

I think G&S is already public domain.

Yeah, I thought you were talking about Catholic pirates with guilty consciences.

Having a good friend with a brother working there and his cousin in the box office we get last min 20 buck tickets and it takes 40 mins to drive so we've been to a bunch of shows. I am warming up to a recent Romeo and Juliette where they were prohibition gangsters speaking olde English. Call me olde fashioned.
