Whew, what a weekend - Feedback on Rodney, 3DD/Flyleaf?
By Carl Hoover
| Monday, April 28, 2008, 11:11 AM
In the ebb and flow that’s weekend entertainment in the Waco area, this past weekend was a torrent:
- 3 Doors Down, Flyleaf and 12 Stones in a national rock tour, Friday in Belton
- Comic Rodney Carrington, Saturday at Zack & Jim’s Hog Creek Icehouse
- Drag boat races on Lake Brazos
- The national tour of “Chicago” Wednesday and Thursday (OK, a bit of a stretch from here to the weekend) at Waco Hippodrome
- Jedidiah designers Kelli Murray and Austin Blasingame painting a mural, Austin photographer Esther Havens and live music at Common Grounds coffeehouse
- Cotton Palace Festival Friday at Waco Hall
- “Nunsense” at Waco Civic Theatre
- “Tartuffe” at McLennan Community College
- “Picasso at the Lapin Agile” at Baylor’s Hooper-Schaefer Fine Arts Center
Whew.
I caught “Tartuffe” and “Nunsense” over the weekend (healthy attendance at both, considering the busy weekend) and hope to post my reviews later today, but I’m interested in how the Flyleaf and Rodney Carrington shows went. Anyone who was at either show - or any other weekend event - want to share how they were?

Now I may be ever so slightly biased, but I thought the Baylor Theatre production of Picasso at the Lapin Agile was one of the best shows I’ve seen there in years. Well directed, well acted, well designed, and well executed. And the director is ridiculously pretty!
I also caught Tartuffe and was pleased with how well those kids handled that text. It wasn’t an easy task and I think most of the actors were between 18-20. All in all I enjoyed the show.
I was also obviously thrilled with Chicago. It was one of the better productions I’ve seen of the show.
Can you believe that? I haven’t made it out to Nunsense yet, but I will. That’s four major theatrical productions in town simultaneously. And none were hurting for audience! That’s growth that we can all be proud of.
