The Explorers Club

Doug and I were invited by the lawyers who represent his company to an evening at the South Bend Civic Theater.  This is the second year that we have been invited and we enjoyed it just as much.  Appetizers and drinks were served before the play.  Last year it was crowded, but this year we noticed that there weren't as many people present.  His lawyer explained that the play was in the small room of the theater, so they couldn't invite as many.  We were honored to be asked.  We enjoyed talking to his lawyer as she has a son that plays golf at Culver Military Academy and her daughter plays soccer, so we always have stories to share.

We had never heard of the play before, but were willing to try.  Last year's was "To Kill a Mockingbird" and they put on a wonderful version of it.  This year's was titled "The Explorer's Club."  We were told that it was a comedy and it is ok to laugh.  In the end we didn't even need that introduction to it.  It was a lot better than we ever thought it would be and did laugh many times.  The story revolved around an Explorer's Club in England somewhere in the early 1900's that only allowed male members.  At the start a new member wants to join as she found a new country, but the group is hesitant because she is a woman.  It had a lot of twists and turns and was thoroughly enjoyable.  I think Brett would have really enjoyed seeing it with us.
