11/14/21 PILGRIM The Musical in Mt. Morris, NY

 After taking care of Petra, I went to church for the early (9:00 a.m.) service however I was late so I missed the beginning of the service.  I regret that because Pastor Craig was dressed up like Mr. Rogers, and the theme of the sermon was "Won't you be my neighbor".  I hope to watch what I missed online.  

After church, Marlene, Marsha, Dee and I met up behind the library and we all piled into Marlene's car and we headed to Mt. Morris to see the play PILGRIM.  

We stopped for lunch at Brian's USA Diner.   It is not a fancy place, but it has a huge menu.  Our server (Sue) was excellent, and our meals were quick in arriving and very good.  I had the turkey club sandwich with sweet potato fries.  The sandwich was HUGE.  We paid for Marlene's meal since she drove us.

Then we went to look for the church where we thought the play was being held.  Lamplighters Ministry.  We found it easily enough,

but it did not look as if there was anything going on there.  There was a notice on the front door giving directions to a nearby building that was formerly a school. 

We drove there and got a great parking space.  

The play was wonderful.  It was put on by Arise Collective Theatre, a group that travels to different places to perform. 

I guess it was sponsored by LAMPLIGHTERS MINISTRIES.  Tickets were free.  No photography was allowed during the production, but I took this one at the end when the whole cast came out.  

The play was a musical based on the book THE PILGRIMS PROGRESS, and it was amazing.  So good!!!!  When it was over Beth, who is in the middle in the photograph, and who was the narrator came down into the audience and she spoke with Dee and I (Marcia and Marlene had gone to the room with the book sales).  

We also talked to a few other cast members.  

I think all four of us were on kind of a "high" on the drive back to Lockport.  It was an exceptional day, and I forgot to mention that it was Marsha's  83rd birthday.
