On April 16, 1959, the Bolshoi Ballet made its first appearance at the Metropolitan Opera House. It was the first Russian state ballet company ever to appear in America. Its star was Galina Ulanova, seen here accepting bouquets after the performance. Her partner, Yuri Zhdanov, is next to her.

Through the Porthole by FotoFling Scotland Via Flickr: A view of the Orchestra Pit of His Majesty’s Theatre in Aberdeen. His Majesty's Theatre in Aberdeen is the largest theatre in north-east Scotland, seating more than 1,400. The theatre is sited on Rosemount Viaduct, opposite the city's Union Terrace Gardens. It was designed by Frank Matcham and opened in 1906. On its centenary in 2006, the theatre was "twinned" with His Majesty's Theatre in Perth, Western Australia. The venue was bought in 1933 by James F Donald, a local businessman, who refurbished the venue and introduced features such as external neon lighting, a cinema projector and a revolving stage – at its time, the only one in Scotland. Upon his death, James F Donald’s sons took over the management of His Majesty’s Theatre thus continuing the "Donald Dynasty" until it was bought by Aberdeen City Council in 1975. Through purchasing the venue, the Council allocated £3.5 million to ensure the buildings survival. After 23 months of closure the theatre was reopened in 1982 by Prince Charles. After a National Lottery grant was awarded in 1999, the theatre was the subject of a refurbishment and extension. The new glass-fronted box office, café and restaurant was designed by City Architect Trevor Smith, who also designed the award-winning Aberdeen Maritime Museum. The auditorium was completely refurbished and new seats were installed. Backstage facilities were also upgraded. The theatre is regularly visited by Scotland's national arts companies and hosts performances from other major companies and the annual Aberdeen International Youth Festival. The theatre is managed by Aberdeen Performing Arts which also runs The Music Hall, and The Lemon Tree.

All of the musicians are leaving. Not sure if [drummer] is leaving yet

MD of a school production I was playing in

I tried more terraforming.  I never saw anyone do an sunken orchestra pit.  I hated my stage area, so I decided to go all out.  Hippo is directing, producing and starring in Picnic on Mars - The Musical.    Bianca is playing the piano.  More details to follow.

There are plenty of seats to watch the show.   I’m sure it will be standing room only.   

They plan to have open auditions some time in spring.  It’s too cold for an open-air production at the moment.    Hippo says he needs to work on the script.   Did I say he is also writing it?
