Kathy and her family flew to Spokane for the holidays and arrived yesterday. I had previously asked her to do a girls-night-out with me and go the the play "It's a Wonderful Life". I bought her ticket as my present to her for her birthday - her birthday is the 13th of December and mine is the 8th. It is fun to have our birthdays so close together.
We started our evening with dinner at Europa, an Italian restaurant located in the historic Atrium building. It happened to be conveniently located right next to the Interplayer's theater, so we were able to walk to the performance after enjoying dinner.
The performance was described as "Chances are you're familiar with the heartwarming story of Frank Capra's classic holiday film, It's a Wonderful Life. And if you're a fan of the film, you won't want to miss Interplayers' old-school rendition of the story, performed in the style of a live radio play, as many radio broadcast performances were done back before television became a common convenience. The twist with this show is that each actor in the five-member cast will perform multiple roles to portray all the film's characters, while also contributing live sound effects. Just like the good old days."
We had a great time! It was fun to see the five actors play the different parts and the different sound effects.
