1st Stage theater: ETWEEN RIVERSIDE AND CRAZY

 

I ushered at 1st Stage theater at Tysons Corner for BETWEEN RIVERSIDE AND CRAZY this Sunday afternoon. This was story of a retired NYC police officer holding on his rent-stabilized apartment while fighting a lawsuit against the NYPD, surrounded by a "chosen family".

A few interesting twists and turns. There was a closing party after this show.

14-mile REVERSE Bear Church Rock hike

 

I joined a meetup hike to do REVERSE Bear Church Rock for 14 miles with 3300 feet elevation gain. The weather was sunny and cool (perfect for hiking), while the trails were dry and the stream crossings were pretty manageable, although some sections with snow. What a nice hike!

Plus 6.7 miles weekday runs, I logged in 20.7 hike/run miles this week.

Synetic Theater: ANTONY & CLEOPATRA

 I drove 22 miles to Arlington to usher for Synetic Theater’s play ANTONY & CLEOPATRA. Surprisingly, the traffic was smooth on I66 going there and back. This adaptation of Shakespeare’s tragedy was wordless, movement-based, so confusing at times, yet the stage design, customes, and dance performances were flawless.
