Rosebud Dinner Theatre

Tues., August 9, 2011
We both enjoyed our drive out to Rosebud this morning.  Rosebud is a hamlet located about an hour and a half north-east of Calgary.  The rolling hills are green and lush because of all the rain we have had this year.  We are staying in our 5th wheel trailer right in the Rosebud campground.  The people in this small community are very friendly.
Rosebud School for the Arts is a 4 year theatre training program in which students specialize in performance or the technical side of theatre.

Today we are taking in the Dinner Theatre over at the Rosebud Opera House.  There is a full house today with 200 people attending.  We had a small waiting time before being ushered to our table, but there is lots to look at in the lobby.  The buffet is delicious with lots of  variety.  We both enjoyed the seafood salad as it was different and very tasty.
After lunch we did a quick tour of the museum across the street and a few of the gift stores.
The acting in "Jake and the Kid" by W.O. Mitchell, which is the current production, is first class.  We thoroughly enjoyed it as it is heart-warming with lots of laughs, a few sad moments and is a typical story of early prairie life.   We were both glad that we had decided to spend our day watching this.
