Dreading the post-holiday winter blahs? Here’s an event that, while admittedly a bit self serving, should be fun, and a great way to connect with all your Miata Club friends.  I’m playing cello in the pit orchestra of the Sudbury Savoyard’s production of the Gilbert and Sullivan show Yeoman of the Guard.  “Set in the Tower of London in the days of Henry VIII, the show has elements of comedy, tragedy, intimacy and pageantry. Gilbert’s plot combines a myriad of twists and turns with a host of believable and sympathetic characters; Sullivan contributed one of his grandest scores.” To get an advance flavor of the music, check out recordings on Youtube from the famous D’Oyly Carte Opera Company:  Act One, Act Two .

I’d like to invite club members to join Paul and me at noon on Sun., Feb. 24 for the jazz brunch at Bullfinch’s Restaurant, 730 Boston Post Road in Sudbury.  The performers are the Cindy Lou trio.  Following brunch we’ll drive about five miles to Lincoln-Sudbury High School, where the 2:00 p.m. show will be held.  Tickets are $25/$22 seniors and can be purchased on line.

If you’d like to come, please book your tickets individually and then e-mail me, Celia Raia, at c_raia@yahoo.com, by Feb. 14 so I can get a head count for brunch.

We hope to see you there!
