Babes In Toyland

This past weekend I had the opportunity to see a fine production of Victor Hubert's play Babes In Toyland". It has been far too long since I last viewed stage play, and this weekend served as a reminder. The creation of a stage, full of props, and characters clad in elaborate costumes and makeup are a couple of the reasons I respect this form of live art. Going to the Cinemark to see a movie is exciting, but plays are much deeper.

I especially enjoyed this one as it was filled with Christmas spirit and the joys of childhood innocence. Watching it jumpstarted a part of my brain that isn't used nearly enough: the ability to make believe. This form of theater is enjoyable and serves as a fun alternative to the movies. One drawback is price. Babes In Toyland cost $30 dollars per ticket for everyone in the audience. However, because I've sold my soul to Uncle Sam it was free.
