One of the actors performed a reading at the Historical Society annual meeting.  She was very good.

I was there.   It was very good.  I was surprised that there wasn't a larger turn out.  Was it publicized anyplace except on this board?

The BHS meeting?  Yes, there were postcards sent to all of their members.

I figure a 70 degree day the first weekend of November is pretty tough competition.

We went to the 2pm show.  It was a great performance combining professional actors with community actors, including a few children.  Seedfolks was required reading for all 7th graders in Berwyn.  We really enjoyed the performance and theater.  Here is a link to the 16th street theater website.  They are hoping to get 100 people to join the 100 club by purchasing tickets to all 2009 performances in advance by Nov. 30th.:

Sorry, Brian I wasn't clear.  I meant the 11 AM performance at the Library.  As far as the 16th St. Theatre, if you haven't been there you're missing something special in Berwyn.  I missed the first play, but saw all the others.  Myself and a group of my friends will all be subscribing.
