We have successfully completed our first trip to the city with the ladies from school. (Sunday March 21st) We went to see Peter Pan at the Emerald City Theatre in Chicago, 7 mothers and 14 children. It took a while to make the arrangements, but we managed. It felt so nice to look at the seats around and see all the known faces. Hardly any kid sat with his/her mother, they looked for their friends and sat with them. Even Miss A sat next to Peri and her mother Sonja. I was curious how she would react if she gets scared. The moment Captain Hook came close, she jumped on Sonja and made Sonja keep the arm around her for the rest of the show.
The show was very well done. It was definitely not a big production. The stage is small, the cast is small, probably the budget is also small. Peter Pan was not the greatest singer either. But it was still very well done, with humor and passion for theatre. Especially the mermaids made us all laugh. Some of the kids were at a show for the first time. Emerald City Theatre is very child friendly, so it was the perfect experience.
Now the next step is to get the ladies to downtown Chicago without the kids. Wish me luck!
(oh, thanks to Brooke for driving me and the girls to the show.)
