Rehearsal Day

I went for a walk this morning to see the downtown sights of Gettysburg. It was hot and humid and reminded me a lot of Shreveport. After lunchtime, the temperature cooled a bit and was easier to move around in.

The Kline Theater is a lovely playhouse and I think we will really enjoy performing there on Saturday. As you can see from the photos, the group is having a wonderful time. Everyone here is so nice and helpful. They seem interested in the festival and the area we are from -- but they make no cracks about our accents.

Of course, I am prepared for those comments. "That's right! You should be familiar with the way southerners talk since so much of your town was occupied during the Civil War." At least they were occupied for a little while. Lest we forget who won that War!

I am also seeing a lot of "Dutch" and "German" things here. I am not sure the "Dutch" things are really Dutch. I think most may be more "Deutsch" which is German for German.

Tomorrow, I am hoping we can go on a horseback ride around the battlefield. Keep your fingers crossed.
