at the theater

This weekend Kyle and I decided to get cultured... we went to see a play at the IRT, Indiana Repertory Theater. We got a great deal on tickets using a promo code Kyle just happened to find online. How great? Well, try $6.50 for tickets that would have been $52. Not too shabby, huh? We didn't do as great a job of picking our seats and ended up in the front row on the far right corner. We had a slightly obstructed view of the stage but it was well worth it.

We saw "The Diary of Anne Frank" It was fantastic. The cast was incredible and the emotion was overwhelming. The entire play took place in the secret annex. We laughed and cried with the characters and for the first time I actually began to think about what it must have been like to live in hiding for so long! I've been to the concentration camp in Germany (Bergen-Belsen) where Anne and her sister actually died but thinking about living in hiding for so long before even ending up at the camps... wow.

Did you realize that Anne Frank was only 12 when they went into hiding? I was super annoying at age 12... ha. This was one fun part of the play, she was crazy! And this particular actress was super high energy.

It is hard to say that we enjoyed our evening based on the subject matter of the play, but as much as it could be enjoyed, we did. I am ready to keep trying random promo codes and getting cultured. The IRT theater is small and welcoming, definitely worth going back to.

If any of you get the chance to see this play, we would highly recommend it!
