october 15 & 16
After 8 am tai chi on the Annapolis wharf, we loaded cars and headed off to New Brunswick.
Arriving at the Rodd Hotel around 5 pm on Wednesday we found that the hotel was in need of rooms with two beds. Sally, Adrian, Wayne, Terry, Nat, and Susan agreed to one bed (per couple) and in return each got a bottle of wine. I'd say we were off to a good start.
Hilary Mackay, a friend of Nat, Susan, and Wayne's, whom they met in Thailand, was our resident groupie, fan club, wardrobe mistress, photographer and rehearsal director. This was her first trip to Canada from her home in Scotland, and hopefully not her last...
Wednesday's group dinner was at Pisces, where we had a room of our own, and while it didn't match the meal we had in Montreal, it was fun to have the whole cast together. After dinner, we repaired to Nat and Susan's room to demolish some of our gift wine and tape our version of 'Bob & Ted & Alice & Carol'. Here's the link: The after-party

Thursday morning dawned warm and grey, and having missed the tidal bore at 5:30 am, we tai chi'd by the river, before proceeding to the Aberdeen Centre.
Food is of prime interest to the Company of Angels, so we lunched at the Aberdeen Centre cafe, with its hand-painted tables ( one of which featured little pigs and mounted men in armor ) and good soups and salads.
Then it was into the studio theatre to do a spacing run.

Did we mention the importance of food? This is the craft table in the dressing room.
This is us getting ready...
