We had a decent number of people for this trip with 18 going down on the bus and another 5 driving on their own. We met at the church, then boarded the bus at 10:15 for the short drive down to LaComedia.
We're met at the theater by a hostess with Cookies! However, I stash the cookies for energy on the return trip. :-)
This time we got tables a lot higher up, near the level where we enter the dining room. Actually, the only downside to this seating location is the fact that we need to carry our food up a good number of steps. Fortunately, no one tripped and all of the food made it safely to our tables (and tummies).
From the standpoint of viewing the play, I liked our location. It worked well. Nancy and I and a friend where located a bit to the side, and I found the speakers weren't ideal for this location, but the remainder of our group were located face on to the stage.
The food was great. They do a good buffet with a huge selection of meats, veggies, etc. We were served our salads prior to going down to the buffet. And our Christmas Cake after the meal.
The play was a typical Church Basement Ladies play and musical. In fact, most of the performers where the same, except for the pastor. This time the theme was about preparation for the annual Christmas Program. The play was not a Christmas program but was about the activities of the ladies and pastor in preparation for the program, so it didn't seem like a Christmas program for us viewers. I was pleased with that. There was an interesting romantic twist to this program that was unexpected. However, I didn't feel that this was one of their better programs. In fact, I would say it was my least favorite Church Basement Ladies play.
I took a number of photos prior of the play. We are asked not to take photos during the play and I comply. Lighting is terrible for photography but I think I got some decent shots, although some were a bit fuzzy. Check them out below.
