The show was "Titanic." Yes, indeedy, it was fun. Here's why:
1. 8 shows, 8 sellouts, 8 standing ovations.
2. An excellent, memorable score.
3. An extremely moving story (many audience members had handkerchiefs out at the end).
4. An incredibly talented cast.
5. A wonderful director's conception, somehow staging this show in a 200-seat theatre.
6. An incredibly talented orchestra full of friends.
7. I learned how to play high E on oboe, something I had never done before. It occurred in a very nasty little solo in the first act that I played very well.
I could go on, but you get the idea. It was community theater at its best, and then some.
