Decision Height in Roanoke

My husband, a good college friend, and I saw a really excellent student-penned play last night at Roanoke's Mill Mountain Theatre.  Decision Height is a drama about six women who train to be U.S. Air Force (civilian) service pilots during World War II and became very good friends along the way.  The play shows how the women grew and changed and the dangers of their new "careers".  All three of us really enjoyed ourselves and were impressed by how good and original the story was.  The screenplay was written by Meredith Levy who recently graduated from Hollins University and her script can be read here thanks to the Hollins University library.

Years ago, I used to enjoy going to Winchester's Little Theatre and Shenandoah University's brand new (back then) theatre for musicals and comedies.  I've seen a lot of Broadway shows over the years as well but until last night I hadn't seen any good theatre in Roanoke.  I'd tried but...

So, it was a fun evening and I'm glad we braved the super cold air and enjoyed a night out on the town.  Roanoke is doing major construction on the Farmer's Market area so downtown is a bit of a disaster area right now but hopefully that will change before the nice weather shows up.  I love the Farmer's Market in every season except winter.  When is March going to get here?!?

Okay, gotta go and watch Downton Abbey.
