Year 5, Day 5 - Acting Up

Sorry, all, for the delay.

Yesterday, we went to the classes again. My class was basically the same as yesterday. Molly's class talked about sports conspiracy, along with the only conspiracy that holds weight to me, the frozen letter conspiracy.

Afterwards, we ate dinner and went to a play in Albany. We walked around a while beforehand, looking at the old train station and the old train headquarters, which were massive and incredible. We also got a good look at the Capital Building again.

The play itself was interesting, too. Only two actors are on stage the entire time. One of them always plays a down-on-his-luck detective trying to solve a murder, while the other one acts as every single one of the suspects (well, except for one, but I won't spoil it.) The suspects actor was constantly moving around for two hours and constantly talking. All of his movements were very animated. He looked out of breath by the end of it.

The play was also pretty funny, with a lot of good lines in there and some good physical comedy. The play was called Murder for Two, if anyone's interested.

Today, we go to the Shaker Farms and see the sights. I'll actually update the blog on time today. Feel free to leave comments!

QUOTE OF THE DAY:
"We need to be careful! There's already been two deaths!"
"No, three. We've been witnessing the death of American theatre."
