Theater District Open House

This was the third time we went to the Theater District Open House.

We started at the Wortham Theater.
We got a family picture taken with some dress-up stuff. The girls got their pictures taken with the Sugar Plum Fairy from The Nutcracker. Rats, soldiers, and The Nutcracker roamed around.

We went on a tour of the Wortham. We didn't start in the Green room this time. We got to sit in the Founder's boxes (the really expensive seats). We watched a presentation about Houston Grand Opera's upcoming performance of The Barber of Seville. We got to see the costume shop and look at costumes in the process of being built.

We went on the stage and the girls tried on costumes. We saw some of the props from The Barber of Seville. We watched a wig maker create a wig for Barber of Seville.

We got to see Houston Ballet II perform. We were late to the performance, so we sat in the aisle until some people left and get got their seats.

We went to the Alley Theater. Both girls got their faces painted. They tried on costumes and got a six second movie of them all dressed up, which was turned into a flip book. We went onto the stage and the girls got to do theater games: statues & night at the museum, a shark song, Wizard of Oz voices & walking on the yellow brick road.

We ended the outing with a concert by Houston Symphony at Jones Hall.

All this for only the cost of parking!

Yup, this is a dull reporting of facts. Afraid that's all your going to get. Sorry. No time to think it over and add better descriptions. Have to cook supper. Maybe the girls' log books will be better.
