I couldn’t decide whether to title this blog “Memorable Theatrical Experiences” or “Goodbye Stress” and because I’m trying to escape either/or thinking and embrace the AND, why not use both?
Last night, my husband Michael and I went to see Frankenstein by Manual Cinema, who always deliver memorable theatrical experiences. From now on, I resolve to say “Goodbye stress” to decisions about tickets, food choices, the weather, traffic, parking, other people’s behaviors (e.g., showing up after the production has started), and anything else that might interfere with my enjoying and being totally present for memorable theatrical experiences.
Do you see memorable theatrical experiences and/or “goodbye stress” in my images for today?

I don’t know if this counts as a memorable theatrical experience, but I seized the day on Carpe Diem Day and used the tub in the upstairs bathroom for the very first time (with Goodbye Stress aromatherapy bubble bath).
Here’s what I find when I search YouTube for “memorable theatrical experiences” …

Thanks to all who have helped me create memorable theatrical experiences and to say “goodbye stress,” including YOU!
The bathroom looks wonderful!! How amazing to have it completed and functioning! – I hope your inaugural bath was fun and relaxing❤️❣️
Thanks for helping me get through this memorable experience, Carol!
Beautiful theater you and Michael got to experience, Ann!
Thank you for allowing me to view the handy cats today, including happy Joan in the remodeled bathroom.
And send out a well-wish to Pete, Pete and re-Pete on the day for their sake.
Thanks for yet another memorable comment, my friend!
I vividly remember seeing Zero Mostel in the pre-Broadway run of “Fiddler on the Roof” in Philadelphia in the 70s.
Thanks for sharing that memorable theatrical experience, Debbie.
i recently saw ‘dear evan hansen’ and the entire audience cried throughout, myself included
I saw that almost exactly three years ago in NYC, beth, and I loved it.
A few years ago I went to the library and saw the play “Mary’s Monster” by Maggie Lou Rader. It’s a monologue by Mary Shelley at the end of her life, addressed to her mother whom she never really knew but who was a large presence. After it was over Rader said her theatrical group needed a play so she wrote it. It’s a great play and even more amazing when I learned she wrote it in a hurry.
Thanks for sharing that memorable theatrical experience in another memorable comment, Chris.
A pillow in the soaker tub!!!!! How wonderful
Thanks for another memorably supportive comment, Maureen!!!!!
I’m going to take to heart your wonderful attitude about not letting other factors interfere with your enjoyment of the theater. I have a tendency to get distracted by what I consider “rude” behaviors. I’m going to think about that, Ann. 🙂
We share a lot of things in common, my memorable friend!
