3/4/13-3/10/13: Dayton, OH

Our week in Dayton was fun but fairly uneventful...

The staff at the hotel we stayed at was superb (the Crowne Plaza in dt Dayton).  Very nice and super accommodating.  The ones from the rooftop restaurant and bar even scheduled their daily drink specials around what we liked to drink and stayed open late a few nights so we could unwind after the shows.  I highly recommend them if you are in town.

When not performing, I mostly hung out around the hotel or at the theatre.  We did venture out one day to a fun little place called Scene 75.  It was a whole entertainment complex and had video games, 4D rides, Go Carts, Laser Tag, Black light Mini Golf, Bumper Cars and some other fun ways to pass the time.  A whole group of us headed over mid day and pretty much had the run of the place.  My favorite part was the Laser Tag - haven't played that since I was about 15 - so it was a blast.  After a few hours the old folks were worn out and headed back for a nap before the show.  During the week, I also got together a new group to have a Fiasco - and it went very well. I think we're really getting the hang of it - this one was centered around a wedding and ended up with several people hopped up on diet pills, lots of x-rated behind closed doors action to the soundtrack of 30 Rock and some transgender surgery at a horse farm. 

The shows went very well - the venue was nice and the locals were great.  Lots of cast family was around to see shows this week, which was nice.  Our Morticia understudy (who is still on for another week) had her parents in to see the show and our Dance Captain had her sister and nephews over.  Its always fun when a cast member's family is there for a performance or too - adds some extra excitement on the stage. 

Well, our week sit downs are over for now - back to a 3 city split week starting tomorrow...wish us luck.  Good bye Ohio!
