Selby Gardens which specializes in epiphytic plants and bromeliads hosted our Wednesday meetings for the American Theatre Conference. As we strolled through the Tropical Display greenhouse with orchids hanging overhead, I was reminded of some of the lush forests my husband, Paul, and I hiked through in Brazil and Ecuador.
One of the perks for these conferences was the number of excellent plays we saw from the Asolo Theatre and Florida Studio Theatre’s Cabaret and Improv as original oplays by children in the lower six grades which were very insightful and the Golden Apple Dinner Theatre which is the longest running equity dinner theatre in the U.S.
The “icing on the cake” was sharing all of this with my college toommate (Miami U., Oxford, OH 1950) and celebrating our 80th birthdays together.
