Just like you, this girlaboutOtown gets a lot of email.
Barristers insisting I return their communication or risk losing an estate that is my birthright contact me quite frequently, and oddly, I seem to be on a winning streak lately, having won several lotteries as well! Indeed, the solicitations and requests that arrive in my inbox are often downright outrageous.
That said, I am also the very fortunate recipient of genuine generosity, newsworthy notes, and some really interesting invitations. These messages are intended to inform me so that I – in turn – might inform you, the real live readers of girlaboutOtown. Sometimes, I’m organized enough to write up a post in advance, and sometimes I get myself out to an event so I can share the experience, but far too often these interesting invitations just linger in my inbox until they are no longer relevant.
“I should really find a way to post these”, I’ve been thinking to myself, and today I decided to do just that. While I’ve resisted the notion of becoming a blog that simply lists events rather than reflects on them, I just can’t be everywhere all of the time. Also, I can be selective about what gets published. So, from here on in, when something super sweet or truly special arrives in my inbox, I will do my best to pass it along in a timely manner.
And, it just so happens that a message arrived yesterday that fits this description.
Doesn’t this sound delightful?
“Voice of the Turtle” just opened at the Studio Theatre in Perth, Ontario (just outside of Ottawa) as part of The Classic Theatre Festival. It is a beautiful and tender romance set in 1940′s New York, with fabulous music and stylish costumes…
…Perth also makes a lovely day trip; beautiful Stewart Park is perfect for picnics, great restaurants, antique shops, and a farmer’s market on Saturdays.
What do you think? Wouldn’t it be great to make the trip, enjoy a gorgeous town and take in some very high caliber professional theatre?
“Voice of a Turtle” runs August 6 to 29, Wednesdays to Saturdays at 8pm, with Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday matinees at 2pm. Performances take place at the Studio Theatre at 63 Gore St. E. in Perth.
