I made it to Ella's Deli in Madison, WI, for lunchtime. Really impressed by all I saw there, even two Simpson items. One was the Simpsons family, needed two pictures to get all of it in view. Another was just of Bart. We stayed in Madison a little while longer, as I wanted to see the Capitol and then Camp Randall. I had seen the markers for Camp Randall before, but my pictures were too dark and I wanted better ones.
Then it was on to Hartford to see the play 'Our American Cousin', a play I had wanted to see for a while. It is still mainly known as the play being done when Lincoln was assassinated in 1865. This was depicted but the play continues after a brief pause. I was a big deal there, as I met the director saying 'I'm the yahoo from Minnesota'. Then I was brought over to meet the cast. The play was well done, I said, as I like comedies and farces. Most memorable has to be the chalkboard wheeled through explaining the multiple meanings of words. A big gag in this play was this, misheard words, or puns. Well worth it to see the play, though we made it just minutes before it began. At the intermission I had some chocolate chip cookies, chips, and water. Also found some 'Uncrustables' that I ate before leaving the venue. Seeing this play I would have to consider to be a 'Bucket List' item. Also liked seeing showbills of previous plays done there. Many of these I have thankfully already seen. Some are commonly done ones like 'Oklahoma', 'Fiddler on The Roof', 'Hello Dolly', and 'Damn Yankees'. The last of these was covered up by the price list for the food and drink. Others I have seen in other forms- like 'Grease' as a movie. Would like to see 'Guys and Dolls', I think this has been parodied on the 'Simpsons' in some form or another. Got a picture of the showbill of the play I saw and even one of a copy of a famous painting, a self-portrait of Vincent Van Gogh.
