Children's Theater Fest at Rhodes

On Saturday, we had a lot of activities scheduled, but I really, really wanted to check out the Children's Theater Fest at Rhodes (put on by Voices of the South). I had heard a lot of good things about it, but had never made it due to the fact that we usually leave town over Memorial Day weekend.

Despite hearing a lot about it, I didn't do a very good job of finding out exactly what was going on and when. It was 3pm on Saturday before I could drag the monkeys there and it seemed as though we had missed the bulk of activities. However, we were still able to visit with friends, see the dude walking around on stilts, eat popcorn and lollipops, see a one woman performance of "The House on Mango Street," the Company D dancers, and the Grace St. Luke's performance of Annie.

As we were leaving, I was asked to fill out a survey. The survey had a list of activities for me to rate. That's when I discovered that I missed seeing Two Way Radio Friday night (Thanks for telling me, Kate!!), the community mural, and many other fabulous activities.

So, next year if we are in town, I'm going to do a little more homework. And I might ask that the event organizers not keep their amazing schedule such a secret.


That's Satchel climbing the walls, "The House on Mango Street" one woman show, Chris Davis doing some video for what will probably prove to be a much better run down of the festival than this one, and me and Jiro waiting for popcorn.
