Last night my husband and I saw the new production of The Revolutionists. Previously, I worked and…read moretaught theater make-up, costuming and sets, and my husband was an actor and director. The script has great potential, but we were disappointed with the production. One actress screamed her way through the play, and the repeated knife jabbing was far too much. One actress, Andrea Frankle, was terrific in the role of Marie. The others lacked finesse and nuance in their character developments. Kudos to the set, lighting and costumer designers which were terrific. And finally, the most disappointing was from the Director. Some of staging was confusing and unnecessary, and often didn't allow the actresses to communicate well. If you are unfamiliar with the repertory theater, try them out. But for this production, I'd rate them 2.5 stars out of 5.

Isle of Hope Art and Music Fest (IOHAAMF) is a yearly festival that takes place in the beautiful…read moreIsle of Hope Historic District which is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. We were initially planning to do a few activities downtown, but decided against it when I saw just how many events were taking place this weekend and seeing all the road closures, we decided to head to the fest since it was far from the main festivities. It turned out to be a pleasant surprise! - Parking - Since it's a small community, roads are 1 lane in each direction and a bit chaotic as the attendance seemed quite large. This year, parking was available at: Isle of Hope Baptist Church The Isle of Hope Methodist Church St. Thomas Episcopal Church Isle of Hope Elementary School I would imagine the parking situation is the same for future years, but I would check their website. - Fest - The fest is free admission. The hours were 10am to 5pm, rain or shine and takes place at the Isle of Hope Marina pavilion, Bluff Drive (between Rose Avenue and Rosenbrook Avenue), Rose Avenue and Paxton Park. According to their Instagram bio, they said there were 120+ vendors and I tried to see a list of exactly who was going to be there, but their website just indicates to stay tuned. When we got to the festival grounds, we walked right up to the back part of the mini food truck area. I remember seeing Pie Society, The Big Cheese Food Truck, Prowl, The Magic Food Truck, Little Diddle Sweetery and Kona Ice and several 6 ft foldable tables and chair were set up for festival goers to sit, which I thought was nice. I also saw this adorable Lemon Cake Flowers VW truck and we couldn't pass up the face painting tent. It was courtesy of Southern Bank, but Glitterboxx Studios provided the service and the 2 ladies there were absolutely amazing! Everyone who saw our kids on our many stops back home all commented on how amazing the face painting was! We walked up and down the streets and the fest was a jam packed event for both vendors and attendees! When you get to the marina area, there is a beer tent with more food trucks and there were tables and chairs set up there as well. I remember seeing Chazito's, Bayou Cafe, more Kona Ice and a couple of other trucks but unfortunately our time was cut short due to the rain. It started to sprinkle and having waited a little bit to get 2 kids' faces painted, which don't get me wrong, the wait was worth it, but we just decided to leave the fest all together to get some lunch indoors. - Kid Friendly - The kids section was right by where we walked up initially, by one of the food truck areas and the Southern Bank face painting tent, where they were also handing out balloons. It has a playground and they had big chess pieces set up as well as a jumbo Connect Four. The fest is well organized and so well attended and with good reason. I just wish the weather would have cooperated during our time, so that we could have walked around and took our time. There was so much talent crammed into a few blocks, but this is Savannah, so am I surprised! Just bummed that I couldn't check them all out! The scenery for this fest is also absolutely breathtaking. I had seen Isle of Hope on a map, but never knew this area looked like this. I just marveled at the charm of the homes and their little picket fences with their private docks, live oaks and Spanish moss draping everything. I'm definitely going to do my research and explore more of this historic area! If you love all things local, art, music and food, then you need to check this fest out! Can't wait to check it out again next year, and hopefully, the weather will cooperate! Fingers crossed!

Arriving in Savannah on Juneteenth, I realized some of the sites I wanted to see were closed. One…read moreof those sites was the Juliette Low Museum, the founder of the Girl Scouts. What I didn't realize was that the Andrew Low house was nearby. He, of course, became one of the richest people in Savannah in the 1800s and had this house to show of his massive wealth. We stuck around for a tour that lasted about 45 minutes. Was pretty informative and learned a lot of things about Juliette that carried over to when we saw the museum a couple days later. One of the cool things we saw was an upright grand piano, of which only 3 exist in the entire world. That was pretty cool. This was a fun respite from the heat and wasn't overly expensive.

It was so heartwarming to see the little kids from several classes perform. - Parking - Center lot. SCT is located in a strip mall on Victory, a very busy part of town. It's right across the street from Chick-Fil- A, also on Victory. The theatre is a lot bigger than I thought. From the outside, I got the impression that it was a small theatre. In fact, the space is pretty deep and there are several rooms and sections in the theatre. From what I saw, the children's field trip was basically participating in one of the workshops that SCT offers to children of all ages. It was so adorable to see the kids on stage. The kids were given various small props like a themed hat and they performed various Aesop's tales with the help of the instructor. There were at least 3 instructors and they each took turns directing the group of young aspiring actors on stage. The instructors did a great job! Such a fun way to get kids involved in the arts. I'll have to look at their schedule of performances and check out some shows with my kids!

This was one of the less enjoyable historical tours I've taken. I ended up coming here for a…read morecouple reasons: one, I wanted to grab some cool pics of the stairwell. Two, one of the local tour guides told me about the Chan family who lived here during the 1900s and I was intrigued. The house is pretty cool. Very colorful. A lot of innovation for that time in architecture and function. But that's where it ends. The whole tour focuses on the very short amount of time between around 1820-1827, the time of the original Davenports. Very vanilla. It skids over the life of the enslaved. And it so sadly did not cover any of the home's life as a tenement home, meaning you hear nothing about the amazing Chan family, the patriarch of which lived until 2016, aged 102. There are so many interesting American stories to learn from this historical landmark, yet you hear none of that. It doesn't help that the museum across the street was not up and running the morning I visited because all of the informational plaques (which would have mentioned at least some of the info I was craving) were down because the window washers were coming. It would be helpful to offer more than one tour, perhaps one where the tour focuses on the Davenports, another focusing on tenements and the enslaved. There are some days where you can do self guided tours. I paid just under 18 bucks. Owens-Thomas house is a more impressive and interesting tour if you have to choose between the two.

We walked through the house to the back and found an incredible exhibit on the Chan family from the early 1900s. It's a new exhibit they just created in January in partnership with the Chan descendants. The Chans were influential members of society in Savannah and their children were the Chinese children born in Georgia and the first to integrate into white schools. They owned a Chinese laundry and really made an effort to get involved in the community versus isolating themselves which to me was a brave approach to take as a non white family in the south. We didn't get a chance to see the rest of the house but definitely recommend stopping in to see the Chan exhibit and it's free!
