The Huntington Theatre in Boston is the city’s largest theatre company. And as is reported by them it is also the most popular theatre in the city and one of the country’s most respected. Those last two statements are pretty strong claims though there doesn’t seem to be much argument against them. The company was established in 1982 by Boston University and is well known for presenting seven great productions from the theatrical cannon as well as the latest hits every season. Many of the country’s top theatre performers, directors and designers are attracted to working with Huntington and come to Boston for this purpose. Meanwhile audience members from all across the country are attracted to being part of the audience for any one of their productions.

Many of the top places to stay in Boston will refer their guests to the Huntington theatre
when they ask for a great entertainment oriented evening out. Dinner and a show is a great idea when one has tickets to a hit production. In addition to a diverse selection of productions offered by the theatre, the plays are staged in more than one venue. Two world class stages are included in their production space and these are the Boston University Theatre, which is designed after the historic Broadway theatres and seats 890. The other main stage is the Stanford Calderwood Pavilion at the Boston Center for the Arts.

Some of the theatre’s previous productions include Rock ‘n Roll by Tom Stoppard and Boleros for the Disenchanted by Jose Rivera from last season. The current season includes two productions that are currently running, Stick Fly by Linda Diamond, which is being performed at the Calderwood Pavilion and Becky Shaw by Gina Gionfriddo, which just opened on the Boston University Theatre mainstage. Upcoming productions include, among others, Prelude to a Kiss by Craig Lucas, Fences by August Wilson and All My Sons by Arthur Miller.

There are fifteen Presidential Libraries in the United States, scattered from California to Maine.  The two in California are Nixon and Reagan; in Texas, you’ll find three, Lydon Baines Johnson, George Bush, and George W. Bush.  The rest of the states have one each: JFK in Maine, FDR in New York, Gerald Ford in Michigan, Herbert Hoover in Iowa, Harry S. Truman in Missouri, Dwight D. Eisenhower in Kansas, and William J. Clinton in Arkansas.  That’s fourteen listed.  If you want to find the library of the 39th President of the United States of America, then you’ll need to go to Atlanta, Georgia. The Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum is one of the many sights you might see while staying in luxury at a number of hotels in Atlanta.

The museum and library are hosts to a number of interesting events.  If you’re looking for something different to do, then you might try out a President’s Library.  Recently, they held a performance by Gene Griessman who played the role of Abraham Lincoln.  In future events, Bill and Sue Wills will portray Lyndon & Lady Bird Johnson on February 27th, at two in the afternoon.  The show will focus on their lives together of “Lady Bird” and the “Master of the Senate.”  On March 4th, there will be a lecture and book signing of Betty Glad’s “An Outsider in the White House,” a book considered by some to make significant contributions to diplomatic history and presidential studies.  It’s not all lectures and plays at the library and museum, there’s photography, too: On March 17th, a photographic exhibition titled Life Through the Lens — Photographs by Senator Howard H. Baker will open, featuring a collection of fifty large-format photographs.

Many cities offer a variety of attractions to its guests, and Atlanta has more than most, from The World of Coca-Cola Museum to the Georgia Aquarium to Underground Atlanta.  Take time, too, to investigate a little Presidential history for Jimmy Carter.

Last summer we took the kids into Indianapolis to the Children’s Museum. They are getting old enough and I wanted them to have some museum experiences early so that when they get older they won’t look at visiting a museum as a foreign experience.

The trip went off really well we got reservations at Indianapolis luxury hotels for two nights and spent three days in Indianapolis. Our visit was all about getting the children exposed to new experiences and broadening their horizons. So we stared our first day there at the Children’s Museum. The kids were fascinated with the exhibits thought out the museum but especially in the science section. There was so much for the kids to do and see there we ended up spending the entire day in the Museum. With a food court on the first floor it was really easy to do. We didn’t leave the museum until just about closing time. By then it was time for some dinner and getting the kids to bed. They were sure worn out from their day at the museum.

On the second day after breakfast we set out for a morning walk in a nearby park and located a playground so the kids could burn off some steam and we could sit and relax for a little while. That afternoon we were going to be going to a play at the Children’s Theater Institute where the kids would be getting their first live play experience. Another winner, they both were very interested in the play and the theatrics involved with it. It was a lot of fun seeing their faces and experiencing their excitement with them.

It was a fun and memorable weekend. We still here chattier chat from the kids about the science exhibits at the Children’s Museum, especially the rockets. The play they saw made it’s impression as well, now they are writing their own plays and acting them out for each other and us.
