Five years ago this very week the Sandy Arts Guild staged the musical The Scarlet Pimpernel. It was one of the most polished, professional theatrical productions I’ve ever experienced. The costumes and scenery were stunning. The cast and crew were very talented and dedicated to presenting an excellent show. I think the only things that detracted from the outdoor performance were a spotty sound system and rain. I never actually got to see the show. My son Josh and I were in the orchestra pit as cellist and pianist. It was a delight to play this beautiful, evocative music. Though the production ran through the end of June and much of July, I never once tired of it. Tonight my son will play that music again, as Murray Arts in the Park presents The Scarlet Pimpernel. I won’t have the pleasure of playing in the orchestra this time, but I will get a chance to see the show.
