Downside is the hyped up theatrical stuff. Grown adults trying to pretend they are belly dancers, hula dancers, twirlers, ballet dancers etc. Many just don’t realize how foolish they look but sadly they need to play all over the villages thinking they are stars. Theater productions are a little ridiculous too. Old people playing parts in West side story and grease??? Really? But if we want good theater we go to Orlando and we try to ignore the poor wannabes who need attention. It’s a small price to pay when you get so many other benefits.
Yeah, we try to ignore the pretentious who run to Orlando for “good theater”.

I mean really, why all the put downs around here. I’m not interested in those activities you mentioned but others are. So should we all drive to Orlando for “good theater” on the same night so everyone is in lockstep? Why be assessing everyone else’s actions if they don’t harm you?
