Shutting Her Down – The End of Another Season of Summer Mummers
Well, here we are. This weekend marks the final two performances of Summer Mummers. Our 66th year is almost in the books.
If you ask the people at Summer Mummers how they feel about the show closing up shop for nine months, you'll mainly get two answers; "ready" and "not ready." Sure, there will be some in-betweeners, but most people fall into one of those two categories. On the one hand, it's nice to have more time to travel, do normal "weekend" things, and work on other projects. At the same time, it does create an absence in our lives. The first weekend after Summer Mummers closes, we find ourselves sitting at home on a Friday night, trying to remember what we did with our weekends four months ago. We end up calling friends to hang out. Of course, it's the same friends who we just performed with a mere six days before.
