August 16, 2011 (West Side Story at Proctors)

So last night was another great night in Schenectady.  Friends (Margaret, Dick and Colleen) stopped over for cocktails in the yard and wonderful conversation before we set off to see the Broadway musical, West Side Story at Proctors.  The show was filled with powerful dancers, amazing voices and very creative stage scenes.  I especially enjoyed the bridge scene that was used for the rumble and the voice of Maria was so impressive.  Even if you don’t love musicals, this one is such a wonderful love story and certainly reminds us that it is important to embrace diversity and not use it to create barriers and judgments. 

I should also mention that it was wonderful to see my favorite congressman sitting just a few rows behind me. 
Having the ability to see a Broadway show within a short distance of my home is just one more reason that I love living in Schenectady.  What is yours?
