	11-02-92	It Runs In The Family	The Old Log Theatre	Excelsior, MN
Attended as part of the program at the annual SSSA meeting in Minneapolis. Not far from the city, but approximated back woods Minnesota. The play was a slapstick production which premiered at this theatre before opening in London's West End.
	08-13-93	The Music Man	Milburn Stone Theatre	North East, MD
Another community theatre production presented by the Covered Bridge Theatre Company.

Family Christmas trip, but not a memorable performance
	02-01-94	Five Guys Named Moe	Playhouse Theatre	Wilmington. DE
Not much of a story, but some fun music by Louis Jordan.
	04-15-94	Major Barbara	PTTP	Newark, DE
Since Barbara was a student, we found that we could get tickets for the campus theatre program for $3.75. What the heck, let's try it. Our first PTTP performance was our introduction to Shaw (not knowing that we would become quite familiar with his work). Witty and irreverent. Discovered a soon be favorite actress, Victoria Adams as Sarah Undershaft.
	04-19-94	Heartbreak House	PTTP	Newark, DE
OK, a second George Bernard Shaw play in one week, is pushing the limits. Yes it was also witty and irreverent, but getting tiresome.
	04-26-94	The Way Of The World	PTTP	Newark, DE
Although not by Shaw, it was very similar in style, with silly mixed up romances in convoluted situations. Entertaining, but we were starting to wonder if this is all that will be offered, but we were hooked.
Marquee	07-08-94	Phantom Of The Opera	Pantages Theatre	Toronto, ON
The one with the chandelier, which is where our seats were.
	10-29-94	Agamemnon	PTTP	Newark, DE
This was a bit heavy for the opening show of the season, and didn't quite catch all that was going on, but it wasn't Shaw, and very different from last season. Especially appealing was Casey Stewart-Lindley who played Clytemnestra.
	12-02-94	The Three Sisters	PTTP	Newark, DE
Another heavy offering and a downer, but an interesting change of venue by looking at Russian life.
Marquee	12-18-94	The Who's Tommy	Forrest Theatre	Philadelphia, PA
Another Family Christmas trip to the Greatest Rock Musical of all time .
	02-14-95	Dancing At Lughnasa	PTTP	Newark, DE
Life in County Donegal,1936. If it's Irish, I'm already sold,Casey Stewart-Lindley as Kate makes it even better.

Not big dance fans, but couldn't pass up a chance to see Mikail Baryshnikov.

Start of the alumni season brings former students Tori Adams and Price Waldman together with faculty members Susan Sweeney and, in his first acting role at Delaware, Steve Tague in a light hearted Noel Coward romp.

An original non-verbal piece created and performed by Daniel Stein.

One man show adapted and performed by William Leach. Redeemed himself after previous performance.
Marquee	12-27-96	Les Misérables	Forrest Theatre	Philadelphia, PA
Incredible! Powerful! Great songs and story. My all time favorite play. (scene) Motivated me to read the book, watch the movie and buy the album.
	12-29-96	Twelfth Night	Delaware Theatre Company	Wilmington, DE
Set in an unspecified imaginary time. Uneven performances, but good enough to consider season tickets.
	01-31-97	Henry VI - Part I	PTTP	Newark, DE
First show of new class, Colleen Madden as Joan of Arc. Part II 4/27, Part III 4/25

George Bartenieff as the Author and Felicia Wilson as Veronica.
	01-23-98	Love Letters	Grand Opera House	Wilmington, DE

Bertold Brecht makes Hitler a Chicago gangster. Carine Montbertrand gives best performance of the year as Ui.
	04-05-98	Measure for Measure	The People's Light and Theatre Company	Malvern, PA
The flip side of the last performance, Shakespeare's dark mortality tale is set in Bertold Brecht's Weimar Republic. Clever set, but mediocre acting.
	04-11-98	Taking Steps	Delaware Theatre Company	Wilmington, DE
Alan Ayckbourn farce that just wasn't funny.
	04-24-98	The School For Scandal	PTTP	Newark, DE
Hayden Adams shined as Joseph Surface in doing farce as it should be done.
Marquee	05-04-98	Cats	Winter Garden Theatre	New York, NY
Noticed a short line and bought tickets spur of the moment at TKTS. Couldn't quite understand why there was no line at 6:50 but decided to have a beer at Times Square Brewery to wait for the show. After an hour we realized it was in fact now 8:50 and we had missed the first act. Oh well, we had good seats for the second half.
	05-05-98	Late Show with David Letterman	The Ed Sullivan Theatre	New York, NY
Guests were Donald Trump, Jayson Williams, Cast of Home Coming with a performance by Trisha Yearwood. And yes, Donald Trump is just as big an ashhole in person as he is on TV.
	10-23-98	A Master Class with Maria Callas	The Playhouse Theatre	Wilmington, DE
Carmen Roman as Maia Callas made me a new fan.
	11-05-98	Arms And The Man	PTTP	Newark, DE
Current PTTP class really hitting their mark with Shaw's best play.

A rare dud. Forgettable.
	01-28-99	Chicago	The Playhouse Theatre	Wilmington, DE
Belle Calaway as Roxie, Mamie Duncan-Gibbs as Velma. Overrated.
	01-30-99	Othello	PTTP	Newark, DE
Rene Thornton, Jr. as Othello and Cheyenne Casebier as Desdemona. Superb
	03-06-99	The Millionairess	PTTP	Newark, DE

Strange musical but very well done, with Hayden Adams as Macheath and Elizabeth Maher as Polly Peachum
	03-26-99	The Who's Tommy	The Playhouse Theatre	Wilmington, DE
Revival not as elaborate as original, but still one of my favorites. Michael Seelbach as Tommy.
	04-24-99	A Doll's House	PTTP	Newark, DE
Ibsen classic with Carine Montbertrand as Nora and Hayden Adams as Torvald
	04-30-99	Twelfth Night	PTTP	Newark, DE
Shakespeare comedy with Cheyenne Casebier as Viola and a very funny David Daniel as Sir Toby Belch
	05-01-99	Harvey	PTTP	Newark, DE
Vast departure for class of '99's final performance that allows Randy Howk to take a crack at Elwood P. Dowd.
	04-27-99	Lord Of The Dance	Bob Carpenter Center	Newark, DE
Rousing dance numbers, but surprisingly found the use of non tradition celtic instruments, like the saxophone, to be a distraction. Still, got to see the show without Michael Flatley's ego and the performance in a gym didn't turn out to be a problem.

	05-14-99	Fame	The Playhouse Theatre	Wilmington, DE
Final season performance somewhat disappointing. Fun, but actually liked the movie and TV show better.
	09-24-99	Orson	PTTP	Newark, DE
Return of '95 grad Tim Gregory in powerful portrayal of Orson Wells.
	10-17-99	Edgar Allan Poe - Once Upon A Midnight	Grand Opera House	Wilmington, DE
