Yesterday's show was in the old Tampa Theatre... it was built in 1926 and, honestly, the whole thing is so beautifully decorated that it almost felt like a Disney ride. 
The whole front of the proscenium is carved statuettes and busts with intricate detailing and the ceiling is blue-black and covered in stars. Yes, some of the stars even twinkled. It also has the original Wurlitzer organ that it had when it opened. Gorgeous space.
What made the show unique (apart from all the gilt work and carving) was that the stage was too small for our entire house and so, for the second time, we did the show without the key set-piece. Namely, the house. It was fine; we've done it before, so we weren't overwhelmed by this hurdle.
Anyway, I'll write about today's show later. I just wanted to get caught up for now.
Gone swimming.
