Thankful St. Louis

These last couple weeks were a bit crazy for various reasons.  We had some understudies on, some cold weather, and VERY SLOW INTERNET.  I'll tell you what, I remember the days of dial-up internet...and I would prefer not to go back.  Some hotels are slower than a modem!

But, St. Louis had many great things to offer.  We checked out the arch which I could see right from hotel balcony.  It was literally right there!  This is a shot from the top looking down.  It really is an amazing structure.

I was able to spend some time with a good friend of mine from New York.  It realized it had been a while since I had spoken with someone about career goals and dreams and there was a synergy that fed both of us to make them reality.  Those kinds of conversations are so energizing!  Thanks John!

The Fox Theater in St. Louis is a huge and wonderfully historic theater.  So many tours have passed through.  It was originally built as a silent movie theater by Fox, and now it provides live entertainment all year round.  The best part of the theater is actually backstage where the walls are COVERED with murals painted and signed by each of the touring companies that come through.  You can see a couple sample pictures.  There isn't a corner or wall untouched.

There was also a fantastic museum called "The City Museum".  If you are ever in town and have 1-3 hours, you MUST go and become a kid again at this adult jungle gym.  I definitely broke a sweat climbing, throwing balls, sliding through nooks and crannies.  This is the essence of "hands on".

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  I was lucky enough to share it with many people I love here on tour.
