Took my mother to a play
I’ve been bringing my mother to live plays at West Springfield’s Majestic Theater for at least a decade. She loves the plays, and five times a year the theater stages an impressive assortment of stage stories in a high-quality, professional manner with Actor’s Equity performers, wonderful stage sets and always well-executed stage direction. This is not community theater! Today’s play was called The Pitch, a play by Stan Freeman about failed dreams, dark pasts and deep regrets. We have standing front-row reservations, and always enjoy the Majestic’s shows.

Risks: That we won’t like the play; always the risk of trips and falls
