Do you think I really need to take this class? Probably not. Yet, there are some things about building sites using WordPress that may be of use to me. Specifically, I want to leave something NOT connected to Google's blogger for my co-op's long term use. Given that this is a free class, I don't expect too much from it. But it will be an opportunity for me to visit NYC, take the class, have a light dinner, and then see a (Off ?) Broadway play at half price.
The first question I have is: Do I attend as Mario or as Marian? Given that I will likely be one of many people here, I will likely blend into the woodwork either way. Since it will likely be in the low 80's, I will likely go as Marian and wear a summery dress to be comfortable in the expected weather for the day of the class. After this, I have to determine which play to see. This is the harder question for me to answer, as I don't want to spend a lot of money right now. So far, I lean towards seeing "Operation Mincemeat",
Todaytix.com describes Operation Mincemeat as follows:
How did a dead body, a fake love letter, and — of all people — Ian Fleming turn the tide of World War II? Winner of the 2024 Olivier Award for Best New Musical and the most acclaimed West End show ever with 77 five-star reviews (and now four Tony Award nominations), Operation Mincemeat tells the chaotic true story you couldn’t make up if you tried. It’s 1943, the Allies are losing, and there’s only one thing left to do: risk it all on a stolen corpse. Singin’ in the Rain meets Strangers on a Train in this fast-paced, hilarious musical retelling of a twisted secret mission.
Yes, this story is derived from a real life story which has been made into a movie. I figure that it may be a fitting thing to see given that this play, like my last, is inspired by a gruesome reality.
Big question: How do I fit in a bite to eat between the time the class ends and the time the play begins?
