We certainly love geocaching. But we also enjoy Musical Theater. Actually we met while working on a show, but that is another story. Musical theater comes in many sizes and shapes and we have seen versions of all of them. There are the professional shows of Broadway and London’s West End. There are touring companies and regional theater. Then there are the amateur productions in colleges, community theaters and in high schools. All of these offer unique perspectives on the show and unique challenges in performance. But ultimately we can find something to enjoy in all of them.
Theater has its own language regarding location on the stage, the lighting, the organization of the show and the staffing that is required to make a show work. The words are important. It doesn’t just “come together” without the dedication of a whole cast and crew at both professional and amateur levels.

Oh yeah … There’s a puzzle hidden in here somewhere. Don’t go to the posted coordinates. There is nothing there. Just solve the puzzle and head out for the smiley. The rating is for the puzzle; the final should be an easy find (famous last words.) The final coordinates may be a bit iffy due to tree cover, so move towards the “logical” location and soon you should have the cache in hand. You might want to check the hint to be sure you know what to do! Bring a writing instrument. Good Luck!! Happy Hunting!!
