What
better way to spend Halloween weekend than with the Pittsburgh Ballet Theather (PBT) Season Opener, "Dracula". One of my favorite
things is going to a ballet because of the beauty but his time the show is based on
something mysterious- Bram Stoker’s 1887 novel. The last time that PBT
preformed this show was in 2011, so I did not want to miss the experience of something
beautifully eerie!
A way to survive the empty nest and a "cracked "relationship with a fun daily challenge of new experiences, reflections, sources, and some biblical guidance. I hope this blog which offers a fun journey to survive by trying something new, either vicariously or by doing, will result in a survival tool kit to replace the past familiar doing, giving, and/or incorporating the interest of your child or your long gone love interest, with some new self interest(s).

Day 241 Pittsburgh Broadway Series Opens with "School of Rock" - Powerhouse Kids-A Voice
The Pittsburgh Broadway 2017-18 season opened with "School of Rock”, the musical, with music by Andrew
Lloyd Weber. The play is based on the 2003 movie with the same name. If you like kids then you will love this lighthearted play because the best part of the show is experiencing the kids' powerhouse musical talent as they
perform rock n roll live.

Day 240 Black Violin-Create your own path
My Blog inspiration book, “Everything I Need to Know I Learned from a Little Golden Book” reminds us
to “be unique” and unique is just what you get with Black Violin. Classically
trained violist (Wil B) and violinist (Kev Marcus) fuse classical
music with hip hop, pop and rock. They call their new musical genre “Classical Boom”. Their
music is not just about a new sound but as Wil B said during their show, it is about “breaking stereotypes, thinking outside the box and creating your own path.”

Day 238-Equus- Pittsburgh Public Theater at the O’Reilly: the power of Worship
I have seen many plays but never one as powerful, as thought provoking, or as visually interesting as Equus. Equus tackles
the question that most of us ask when we hear about a horrific crime or
event-“why?” In this drama, Martin Dysart, a child psychiatrist, searches for the source of the pain in a teenage boy, Alan Strang, that birthed
a horrific act of horse mutilation. As the puzzle unfolds, we discover that the act of worshiping a higher being
or thing can be a powerful catalyst for good or evil.

Day 237 Adam Ant-Palace Theater Greensburg-New Wave Icon Just Like I Remembered
I have recently enjoyed
several tribute band’s recreations
of music from the 80’s and 90’s (see Days 220 and 222 ).
Adam Ant is a UK 80’s Punk Rock/New Wave icon. I remembered going to an Adam Ant concert as a 80's high school girl at the now long gone Syria Mosque with my best friend Paul (who quiescently
changed his name to Adam). We dressed in
“new wave” garb by wearing black and
white, garnishing our outfits with safety pins
and adding white stripes under
our eyes. We jumped like crazy to the energetic pulsating drum beat of Adam and the Ants. When I heard that he was touring again I was off to a new venue, The
Palace Theater in Greensburg, to see the real deal and once again experience the high octane music of Adam Ant!
