Things come and go. It is the circle of life, as they say. In this case, it is related to the Hale Centre Theatre in West Valley City. Last night we attended our last play there as they are closing that site and going completely to the new Sandy building that I posted about in September.
The program indicated that they had been in West Valley for 20 years. That means that we started attending plays there not long after they opened as I think we started getting seasons tickets in 2000 or 2001. That is a lot of plays. This is the place where Jena fell in love with theatre, too.
We took some final photos in honor of the occasion:

Bundle of Trouble which was written by Nathan and Ruth Hale who started the theatre over 40 or so years ago.

And usually because of its location, we ate at IHOP. I don't think they ever had the same staff twice at that place and the service was sometimes very poor, but it was usually quiet and we like breakfast foods, except for Jena who I think got chicken and fries there for 10 years of theatre attendance.
It has been a great thing to have season tickets there. Gary and I enjoy the theatre and it is good to have that commitment to go that season tickets represent. Even now, our lives are so filled that we sometimes forget to stop and do something fun that we love with each other (and of course, our theatre companions, Jena and Mom Hall.)
We look forward to more years at the new Sandy theatre.
