School concerts..

[Scrumpy]

The schools around this area are very strict on who attends any school performances..
It is by invite only... 2 tickets per child.. 
That usually means mum and dad.. or maybe mum and nanny..

I find that really sad.. When I attended my grandchildren's (shows) people just queued outside..
There was always plenty of room to accommodate everyone .. 
At the head of the queue always stood two elderly pensioners.. These ladies didn't have any children in the show.... yet they were always there.. and very excited to be..
To them it was as good as a West End show.. They  enjoyed every moment.. 
Today, they would not be admitted..

Limited chance for ticket touting or dynamic pricing.  😬😬

When I was about 7 I played a doctor in St. George and the Dragon put on at the local Church Hall on a stage. One  and possibly the only one of my lines was "I have a potion to cure this deep and deadly wound" I can't recall if I was fixing up George or the dragon. I do remember that I was still sometimes being called The Doctor into my early teens so it must have been an Olivier class performance.

Would that be Lucien Olivier, the inventor of the Olivier salad in the 19th Century?

As for me, I played the lead role (doncha know) in Molliere's Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme, 'cos our school woz like that.
