Annie the musical
This is a great show and after the seriousness of Porgy And Bess it is nice to do security/ushering at an event that is fun and everyone is having a great time.
Many of the children in the audience are dressed like Annie.
Part of the cast is the (real life) dog who is "Sandy" what a well trained dog.
This is one cute show.

Skills USA Annual Convention

Second night of this event (I didn't work the first night I was at Cats)
This is a National orginization that teaches teens (mostly troubled) skills that will teach them a job.
There is Carpentry,Forensic Investigation,Auto Mechanics etc etc.
There is a big dinner celebration and the kids are given their graduation from these tech schools.
There is a competition and a "Skills" section.
Worked security and while these are mainly "troubled" kids there was virtually no trouble.
These kids know the school is their ticket out.

Swan Lake
April 3rd 2008 Saroyan Theatre Fresno California.
Not much I can say about this one.
It is the real deal with the dancers being and speaking Russian.
All of the women seemed to be six foot three and ninety eight pounds
They could have been cloned as the dance line looked the same no matter where you looked.
A Professional and quite incredible performance
