"Hello Dolly!" Preview At DMTC's New Year's Eve Gala

Because I was busy in the Southern Hemisphere, I missed seeing all the rehearsals for "Hello Dolly!". All I can say for sure is that the costumes are pretty and people seem to like the show.

I was at the New Year's Gala, but working out in the lobby, taking care of bathrooms, and the like. The big concern of the night was whether we would cut enough fruit and get the chocolate fountain working in time for intermission, when none of us had much previous fruit-cutting and fountain-making experience. Everything ultimately worked well, due mostly to the energy displayed by Rich and Julia Kulmann, Stacey Sheehan, and Bruce and Linnea Lampinen.

After the show, people ate a dinner catered by Ludy's Barbeque in Woodland and listened and/or danced to Arthur as he spun tunes from the 80's, or 50's, or from whatever decade people seemed to have fun making music.
