Love the roses! And I have been reading several Historical Fiction books from WW2 recently. I can’t imagine living back in those times!

I wonder if Broadway will be more diverse AND more affordable ?
LikeLiked by 1 person
Affordable? Probably not. Diverse? Wellโฆhereโs the issue. You need to start at the off Broadway level, and if youโre successful, you make it to Broadway. Off Broadway remains much more diverse. But you donโt draw in big audiencesโฆand without big audiencesโฆI admit I rarely buytickets at full price (Hamilton was exception) I see some things during previews when you can get discounts, or I buy off todayโs tix, again discounted. But I live here. I have flexibility. But to answer your question: no and maybe

That my friend is a shame. Yeah I know about the diversity of off broadway, that’s where my Cousin Chip Deffaa has thrived as a producer/director.

Cost of production is very high. And most shows donโt make money. And box office hits are rarely diverse. People talk a good game, but donโt necessarily put their money where their mouth is

WoW, LA, you got such a lovely close-up of that gorgeous rose that I might just have to have a go of it with my watercolors…..beautiful! We have a fantastic farmer’s market about 15 minutes from me, over towards Amish country, that is just loaded with wonderful produce and yesterday I got 2 quarts of local strawberries that are so sweet and delicious. I too am an iced tea lover and consider that one of the ‘lovelies’ about this beautiful time of the year. ๐

The strawberries are so yummy!!! I saw a recipe for making strawberry shortcake but you use lady fingers instead of biscuits and add marscapone to the whipping cream. Might have to try it!!

Well, rest assured, if I get a chance to do it and if it turns out half decent, I’ll be sure to show you. I’m working on several pieces right now for a fundraiser so I’m not sure when I’ll squeeze it in…….one of my daily struggles……so much beautiful inspiration all around……never enough hours in the day!! ๐

That is so cool about the meat packing district. I remember when I lived there-it was a place to be cautious around. Nice to know all or mostly all things change given time.

That Little Island look amazing. Did you go there or just observed it from afar?

We went to it but when youโre in it itโs just a regular park. Nice little amphitheater inside, and itโs just a nice little spot in the Hudson. Iโm glad the city is making use of waterfront

Ladykillers (1955) is one of my all time favourite movies, a true British classic with so many fabulous character performances and a beautiful London that’s alas lost long gone.
