We have a theater in Dar rather fittingly called The Little Theater. Every once in a while when we feel really culture starved, the local amateur actors put on a small production and we all meander down there for support. It usually is a real laugh as there is bound to be someone you know in the cast and actors and audience alike take part in the fun! A particularly hilarious scene was in Mamma Mia, when a good looking older lady played the part of sexy Tania and got fondled by a "beach boy", who in real life happen to be a surfer looking lad in grade 9 at the International School..."Does your Mamma know" indeed?!
So Wednesday night Frangipani and me headed down to The Little Theater for Steel Magnolias. Remember the movie with Dolly Parton, Julia Roberts and Sally Field that made us laugh aloud and cry uncontrollably?
It is the story of several small town women who's lives revolve around meeting in Truvy's, the local beauty parlour. It's all about friendship and love and loss. The plot is rather predictable, but even so, I could not help leaving the theater a little teary eyed, loving, appreciating and missing my girlfriends more.
And yesterday life happened and two of my dearest friends received bad news that caused broken hearts and many tears. Aan my vriendinne...sometimes my words are just too insignificant and all I can do is give you a big hug, make you some cottage pie or sit with you under the stars and sip wine...not saying much...just sitting...
And if I am too far away, there are always The Girls, rallying around, laughing, talking, crying, drinking...being me, there for you...I love you all and miss you terribly!
