10-16-24 Pippin!
Left work to have an amazing pedicure, a great chat, appt and bevies at Fenwick and Baker and then a show at Cranbrook Community Theatre.
In 1980, I was blessed to see Jeff Hyslop play Pippin when the show came to our high school theatre. Also, in 1980, it turns out that my friend and stage manager, played Pippin in the CCT production. Imagine my complete surprise to see him onstage 44 years later in a purposely uncredited cameo performance! I was moved to tears. Well done everyone involved and thanks for that blessing.
I talked to the director, Sanjay, after the show and told him that I snuck pictures. He told me to post them on my socials but I said I would wait until closing night so as to keep the surprise for others who may remember Bob Kary.
What a wonderful show and surprise!
Also, the Lead, Courteny Green, was the female version of our Matt Van Boeyen and I look forward to the day that they fill the theatre together!
