My Fair Lady

Do you love a good night at the theatre as much as I do? I sure hope so. I've really been looking forward to seeing My Fair Lady at the Hale Centre Theatre in West Valley, perhaps particularly because it's being directed by my friend Chris Clark. Chris is an amazing director, really outstanding. And who wouldn't want to see My Fair Lady? Nobody, that's who.

Speaking of all this, would you care to join me? I'm serious. (Wouldn't it be loverly?) (And, yes, it's FREE.)


I've been asked to invite TEN of my readers to join me for a night at the theatre. That's right -- TEN. This is NOT a giveaway or a contest; we'll use a first-come, first-served method. If you're interested, please email me (jennyeckton at gmail) to let me know you'd like to join me (no later than Monday, 10/31, for reservation purposes); I will email you back to let you know I received your email, and if you're one of the first ten, that your space is reserved. Before you email me, please read the following:

~ The event will take place at Hale Centre Theatre (3333 South Decker Lake Drive [2200 West], West Valley City) on Thursday, November 3rd at 6:30 p.m. - please only email me about attending if you are able to be at HCT on this day and time, providing your own transportation.

At 6:30, we will enjoy hors d'oeuvres* and socializing, followed by hearing the HCT Creative Team talk about staging My Fair Lady. Around 7:15, we'll take our seats and get comfortable for the 7:30 performance.**

I hope you can join me!




*never had to type that one before!

**I'm taking this opportunity to invite you to read this post: How to Be a Good Audience Member. (Disclosure: it's written by Lisa, Chris's wife.) It's a great post, I think of it every time I go to the theater. Really.

Yo Gabba Gabba LIVE - Giveaway

Last year I took my two youngest kids to the Yo Gabba Gabba LIVE show in Salt Lake City. We had a blast. I mean, my kids loved watching the show and I loved watching my kids watch the show. They were more than slightly overwhelmed at seeing a television show come to life, and their excitement was clear as they talked about the show for months following the event.

Yo Gabba Gabba LIVE is coming back to Salt Lake City (Kingsbury Hall) on Wednesday, November 9th. There are two shows, a 2:pm show and a 6:pm show. If you'd like to be entered to win 2 tickets, please leave a comment on this post. I'll choose and announce a winner next Wednesday, October 26th. Please make sure that you either leave your email address in the comment, or that your commenting name is a hyperlink to your site so that I'm able to contact you.

Good luck!


Thanks to Sam Schultz for making this giveaway possible.

THANK YOU.

Thank you for the comments, for the phone calls, for the text messages, for the emails, for the prayers, for the hugs, for the thoughts, for the cupcakes, and for the visits (even though I'm certain I had a bunch of spinach stuck in between my teeth).

It was different.

And now for a wonderful and busy weekend.

I'll see you next week and tell you about my trip to Hawai'i.

Again: thank you.
