Another Example Of Exceptional New Jersey Esoterica!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

                                Would you believe, darlings, that, at first, I did not know where this was?  I instantly wanted to jump into this picture, like they all did in "Mary Poppins," until I realized that I had already been here.  This is the theater castle at the Land Of Make Believe in Hope, New Jersey.

                                 It is not an attraction for people to explore, but, as can be seen by how it is set up, a stage front with seats extending beyond, where little playlets for children are performed.  The day I was there, I was privileged to see one of those playlets.  Oh, what I could have done, had I been a working actor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                 I thought, in the face of al having happened lately, a picture like this was needed to give us color and beauty and cheer us up.  And this place is special to me, because, while I never went there as a child, when I did, I discovered it had opened in my birth year, 1954!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                  Now that is something to pay attention to.  I can't help thinking, wouldn't this make a great stage setting for a production of Sondheim's "Into The Woods?  I would even be willing to play Milky White.  Though my Milky White would have to sing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                   And I love that it is in the township of Hope, New Jersey.  Hope, the one thing Pandora left in the box, and something we all need navigating these difficult times.

                                     Wishing hope to all my girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
