Date Night

My brother Ben is going to acting school. Anyone who knows him is not surprised by this - concerned, maybe, but not surprised. As the youngest of nine children, he's been entertaining the family his whole life. One thing we love about living here is that we get to see his plays. Last night Dave and I went with Kristen and Nathan to see his play at the PCPA called the Imaginary Invalid. He had a small but hilarious role as the apothecary, and his friend Gwen played the wicked step-mother. We all thoroughly enjoyed the play. Ben's hair was dyed black for a previous play, but Gwen has since cut it off.

Now it looks like this. She did a pretty good job for her first haircut.

Of course it really doesn't matter what his hair looks like in this play because it's under a lovely wig.
