About the same time we were dropping Fina and AJ at rehearsal, Matt was setting the rest of the kids up at the pool. Lunch at the pool, too. After a little reshuffling due to confusion with the rehearsal schedule, things got straightened out. And Nana and Papa were on their way to Cripple Creek for a live show at the Butte Theater. But first, a dinner stop at Paravicini's, a favorite Italian place in Old Colorado City. Jamie tried their Chicken Corsoni (pictured below), an in-house recipe; excellent! It took us about 90 minutes from home to Cripple Creek where we stepped back in time in at least two ways. First, and obviously, when you see the place, it's an old Colorado mountain town - saloons, gamblin' houses, and all. But tonight it also took us back to live theater, in this case, melodrama. And we were constantly reminded of Jeff Salisbury, a friend from back home in California, who not only worked at the Great American Melodrama in Oceano, CA where we saw his shows many-a-time, but he also worked a few seasons at the Butte here in Cripple Creek! We looked for Jeff's fireman's hat at the Butte, but no luck (lots of 'em and some quite high and hard to read). As luck would have it, the next live show we'll see will be at SLOREP on the 27th with Jeff Salisbury, Suzy Newman, and Billy Breed starring in The Complete Works of William Shakespeare Abridged.
