My family was able to return to Firehouse Theater. We was able to see Bright Star a Play. I wanted to watch Bright Star because they included facts about the 1940’s.
Allowing Charlie to learn things before he was born which we could use in our Homeschooling class. I couldn’t wait to arrive and for Bright Star to begin because it had a theme of Bluegrass.
I knew Bright Star would catch both David and Charlie’s attention. As well as mine. Bright Star begin I could tell I wasn’t wrong. Charlie and David were mesmerized by the plot. They didn’t even want the actors and actresses to stop for a intermission.
Charlie let me know when Bright Star finished that he wished there was a second part. Charlie wanted to know what happened to everyone. If truth were told I wouldn’t mind seeing a 2nd part as well.
