\"\"<\/a>Tonight we are leaving West Lafayette, home of Purdue University (where we performed both our shows, as well as conducted student performances and workshops ranging from 6th grade to college level.) \u00a0West Lafayette is also the home, as we learned, of Triple XXX Family Restaurant, which despite sounding like a porn shop, is actually an historic drive-in diner, the first in Indiana (opened in 1929). \u00a0 The crew was HUGE fans of this place, mostly due to the fact that it’s open 24 hours, and serves great diner food and their specialty root beer floats. \u00a0In the six days we spent in West Lafayette, I think we ate there five times. \u00a0I do believe on one day we ate there twice.<\/p>\n

The crew at Purdue was great, and the support staff very friendly and helpful. \u00a0We spent most of our time there teching The Spy<\/i>, so we only did one invited dress and two performances (one each of Spy<\/i> and Henry<\/i>), but our audiences were large and responsive.<\/p>\n

We have two days before we have to load in in Poplar Bluff, MO, so we are taking a slight detour to Nashville. \u00a0Part of the reason for this is that it sounds like a more interesting place to spend a day than Poplar Bluff, but also because it’s the home base of the bus company, and it will provide an opportunity for the bus to be serviced, as our water pump is broken. \u00a0 \u00a0We will sleep on the bus for two straight nights, chipping in on a single hotel room so we can all shower in the morning and have a place to stash our stuff during the day. \u00a0 I think it will be a fun couple days to unwind after a very busy week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
