Yesterday, I went to see All For Your Delight in Constance Bay with a crowd of Apaplexy friends, because [livejournal.com profile] gamergrrl is in it. For my money, she stole the show as Arnold, the bratty orphan. But maybe I'm biased. I did think her singing was superb. Melodic and clear.

There isn't much plot in this show. It's a silly farce about a Music Hall around the turn of the century, with a feckless Lord, diamond which are about to be stolen, and dancers with boyfriend troubles. One of the mini-subplots involves two comedians who have been teamed forever, but desire of one for new jokes, and the desire of the other to make no changes at all, leads to them splitting up. Since they kept referring to each other as 'partners' I happily thought of them as a gay couple, and kept hoping they'd resolve their differences and get together again. They didn't.

I also felt I got a peek at a new bit of culture - that of an area called North Carleton, the area around Woodlawn, Ontario. It's close to Ottawa but distinct enough to be a place apart - it feels rural, despite its proximity to Kanata.

[profile] auriaephialia and I both wanted to look at the library, which was at the same community centre as the theatre. Sadly, they're closed on Wednesday.
