         The life and times of Mark and Paula Persons

Dinner and a play.

Saturday, November 12, 2011:  Mark took Paula out for dinner and a play.  The joke is that dinner was a a pizza at Rafferty's in Nisswa, Minnesota, and dessert at a Dairy Queen in Pequot Lakes. 

The highlight of the evening was the 1940's Radio Hour play at the Pequot Lakes Community Theatre.  Set in December 1942 during WWII, it recreated a live radio broadcast to the nation and around the world.  This included lines to boost the morale of our troops overseas and commercial announcements of cures of gosh-awful illnesses.  With Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy and Strike Up the Band songs, it was a real hit with the audience.  Speaking of audience, the show was done with a live audience back then to get the applause, which this audience happily did when the "Applause" light came on.  With a crew of 22 including an orchestra, it was excellent. 


Quote of the day:  It doesn't get much better than a local play.  Mark < Back to previous story Ahead to next story >
