Mozart in Motion-Pittsburgh
Ballet-October 26 Through 28, 2018-Benedum Center
The Pittsburgh Ballet kicks of the 2018-19
season with three different dances accompanied
by Mozart’s compositions played by the PBT Orchestra. These works by
contemporary choreographers George Balanchine and Jiří Kylián should be an interesting collision of classical
and contemporary ballet with some added comedy, wit, and even some fencing!

Men are from Mars Women are from Venus Live!- September 6th- October 14, 2018- CLO Cabaret-Greer Cabaret Theater
In the 90’s I laughed my way through the New York Times # 1 Best selling book, Men are from Mars- Women Are from Venus. This book brilliantly characterized the male vs female perspective on dating, marriage, and intimacy . It was a hysterical read because it all seemed “so true”. I can’t wait to see this Off- Broadway one man theatrical/stand-up show based on the book.
Join me with the girls or with your man from September 6-October 14, 2018, for what should be a hysterical evening at the Greer Cabaret Theater. For tickets go Pittsburghclo.org.

The Play That Goes Wrong is a Tony Award winning Broadway comedy about the Cornley University Drama Society’s attempt to put on a 1920’s murder mystery production when obviously- everything that could go wrong, does go wrong. As a lover of the theater and a former high school and college actor/thespian, I know first hand the trials encountered during show production. This show should be a night of non- stop laughter.
Join me to see if the theater troupe gets their show to the final curtain call. The Play that Goes Wrong runs from September 18 through September 23, 2018 at the Benedum Center for the Arts. For Tickets go to trustarts.org.

Rained out for Cindy Marie
I recently rediscovered the joys of a day at Kennywood Park (see day Day 296). On Oldies Day if you’re 55 + you can ride all day for $9.99. Now that’s a bargain! A Kennywood Park Day is a way to tap into your youthful spirit by riding the coasters or riding the merry- go- round.
