The Music Man

Liberty has a surprisingly good theater department. This was brought to my attention my freshman year when my SLD invited me to attend Guy's and Dolls with her and some friends. Having participated in this show in high school I was excited to see Liberty's version. It was no disappointment. The show was wonderful and inspired me to attend several other shows over my course of four years here at Liberty.

On Friday, my once SLD, Christina, now my RD, attended the Music Man. This was of particular interest to me as it takes place in the state of Iowa, my home. I have seen the older version of the movie and the middle school put on this play when my sister was in 8th grade. The night started off in a rush as we went to Docs Diner to eat. We had to wait for 20ish min. before being seated. We then had to order and wait for the food. While the service was not overly slow we didn't even get to Docs until 6:20 and the show was supposed to start at 7:30. At about 7:10 we had yet to receive our food and so we asked if it could just be brought boxed. When it came we immediately left for the show eating a little in the car. Since Docs is about 3 min drive from the theater there was not much time to eat, so we decided that we would take the food in with us and eat during intermission. Where you may ask did we put all of the food? Well as my dad says, "Peggy that is not a purse it is a bag." Well this bag just happened to be large enough to hold two to-go containers in it. Please mind you that this is not one of those over the shoulder type bags but an actual purse that just so happens to be huge.

So we took the food in and during the whole first half of the show you could smell the diner food. It was really quite funny. The most important part though is that we walked in just as they dimmed the lights to start the show. Which meant that we had to try and find our seats in pitch black darkness. After tripping over almost a whole row of people we found our seats and enjoyed the show immensely.

I hope that everyone who has the opportunity will go and enjoy Liberty University Theater and go see the Music Man. It is definitely worth the money.

Love From Liberty,
Peggy
