NYC Trip--Summer 2012

Duane and I returned last Saturday from a terrific week in NYC.  We rented a small apartment in Hell's Kitchen and this turned out to be a great idea.  We were close to the theatre district, to all kinds of transportation and some great restaurants. 

We landed in Newark late on Saturday, July 28 (after a very long delay in Minneapolis) and, after dropping our belongings off in Hell's Kitchen, promptly set about exploring our neighborhood. Duane was wanting some Two Boots pizza, so we did that and then went to find an open pharmacy (my health, as usual!).

On Sunday we went to see a reading of a new musical called "Marina" at the New York Musical Theater Festival (NYMF) and enjoyed that very much.  Directly after that we went to a full production of another NYMF show called "Swing State" and this show was very good.  I am going to get with Kathy Page Hauptman at the Forum about possibly securing the rights to produce this...it would be excellent on our stage here in Wichita.  Sunday evening ended with us going to the Speigel Tent and seeing a very weird and wonderful circus called "Empire".

More to come soon..........
