Many of us know of the play and the literature based on a series of pictures found not too long ago. I will not spoil the plot incase you see or read the play. However, this St. Pat's Day I sucked it up (after a long disappearance from the general public) and attended the play at the Pasadena Playhouse in Pasadena, CA.
I went all out on my non-Irish blood. I had on a dark green dress set with contrasting sleeved wrap, green rings, Kelly green purse and Kelly green heels (nude panty hose too). I had to drive two hours and near the playhouse I missed my exit, had to do some inventive searching and finally arrived at the parking ramp, asked directions from the attendant to the theatre, changed out of my flats to the heels and headed to the show.
Well, due to being lost, I was late to the Curtin opening, had to find will call inside (tickets under my name here) and be directed to the entrance. Once in the theatre, I was ushered to a very nice seat , second row, balcony, center stage. Not the seat I had purchased but even better. (I was about 15 min late.)
BTW, this was not a sellout so I had a pick of seats.
I exited at the end of the show through a throng of theatre goers, smiled at some of the ladies & guys (received smiles back) and went to my vehicle. One twenties gal really checked out my shoes as I came down the outside stairs (using the railing).
So here I am, not lynched or jailed and had a nice evening. I will do this again sometime if the opportunity avails itself.
Not to give anything away but the play is about crossdressers and I wanted to represent us in the best possible light so I think I looked really nice and was better dressed than most of the audience. (Isn't that usually the case?)
