Moon Over Mount Holly

Tonight was my first foray into High School theater to see "Moon Over Buffalo" for which Viona was the prop master.  The stage presentation was quite surprising for a what I would have expected out of a high school performance:  interesting design, intricate detail, good context for a play set in the 1950s.  The acting may have been amateur but the actors showed the necessary exuberance and were at times indistinguishable with some of the professional actors (waiters) I knew in Philadelphia.  Viona's part was back stage and I wandered back after the final curtain to see if she needed a ride home or whether she would go out with the cast and crew.  That outing will not take place until Wednesday but several of her colleagues noted how helpful she was in the production.  It is not hard to believe.  I finally found her and her face was shone as a spotlight, as if she had been on stage.  Such was the joy evident in our Kosovo daughter, such was the joy of our star.
