The Scene for Thanksgiving Weekend 2009

A special early edition of The Scene, because of the Thanksgiving holiday. Have a lovely Thursday, but I hope you have a chance to see some theatre this weekend; there are a lot of great offerings available. And I think we should all be thankful for that!

I'm thankful that most of the theatres that were with us last year are still open and putting on plays, despite the economic hardships. I'm glad that people are coming out to see plays.
