Sonoma County harvest Fair

Sonoma County Harvest Fair

It’s time (Sept 30-Oct 2) for the 2011 Sonoma County Harvest Fair. Right on schedule the vineyards around the county are laden with ripening fruit that give testament to the bounty that Luther Burbank loved about Sonoma County. You can’t see the densely grouped clusters without appreciating the gift that nature bestows on us. The [...]

Sonoma County Fair – Brilliant!!

As soon as we were clicked through the entrance and escaped the  bombardment of the knives, fudge, and dill pickles in the Pavilion, we were treated to the sound of the  most glorious tenor singing his heart out.  I’m a sucker for a good tenor.  He was part of a group called The Don Giovannis.  We [...]

SRT Summer 2011 Season

Great Start to SRT Season

Wow!  SRT has stepped up its game!  I am so impressed with the cast they have put together this year.  First of all, as I began to look through the program, I noticed that many of them are just stunning as far as looks go… I mean gorgeous!  And secondly, they can sing AND dance.  [...]

Whole Foods Santa Rosa

Whole Foods Adventure

It probably wasn’t the best timing on our part to visit the new Santa Rosa Whole Foods Market in Coddingtown…  It was late afternoon and we hadn’t eaten lunch yet, so that made everything in the store look twice as delicious. You’ll see by our shopping list that we ended up buying way too many [...]

Sonoma County Fair Horse Racing

Sonoma County Fair

Home from the fair and everything seems dim by contrast.  It was a spectacular day – mid 80′s- sunny and breezy.  We set out to have a fun day and we did! I love horse racing!   Horses are such gorgeous animals – strong, sleek, and fast.  The crowd anticipates each race, bettors studying the [...]

SRT Presents 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

SRT: 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

Whew!  I’m glad that’s over!  Nothing stresses me out like a Spelling Bee, but the show was FUN!  The whole cast came together for this final offering by SRT.  The singing was delightfully pitch perfect.  The characterizations were funny and flawless – We all knew “someone like that” in middle school.  Looking forward to next [...]

The Full Monty - SRT

SRT: The Full Monty

Yes!  Virginia, There is a Santa Claus!  And he has brought us Christmas in July with the present of this hard luck story gone nude.  I had been looking forward to this show for some time having loved the story of common working men looking for a way to save themselves and their families by [...]

Dangerous Liaisons with Vampires

SRT Dangerous Liaisons with Vampires

I knew they wouldn’t let me down!  SRT comes through with a topical update of Dangerous Liasons with Vampires (!)  and I did rather enjoy it.  The cast was on their toes; adept at dialogue and characterization.  Outstanding were Vanessa Gibens  as The Marquise and Ricco Fajardo  as Valmont paired as the two infamous lovers [...]

Peter Pan

SRT: Peter Pan (Not the Musical)

OMG!  What a mess! First of all let me preface all my remarks with, “I love SRT.”  The Summer Rep is cast with talented young people with starry ambitions… and they usually bring it to whatever productions they are cast in.  But this season already has me filled with doubt.  The cast is young – [...]
