Popcorn at Live Theater?

If I believed in curses, I think I would think I am under one after this past Friday night.  There is a community theater known as the Starlight Theater.  I like to support local artists and thought it would be fun to see one of their productions.  It never occurred to me that there would be popcorn there as I regularly shop at the nearby Kohl’s department store and had not run across it before.

As my husband and I started to walk in to go to the performance, I saw the popcorn popper first and froze. 

“Popcorn?” 

My husband looked at me as he was saying: “I don’t think they had it before…”

“We can’t go.”

As we were leaving he put his arm around me, “I’m sorry.”

Once we got to the car we decided to go to the local comic book store first and hang out.  After buying a couple of graphic novels and putting the new P.S. 238 (author’s blog link)  PS238 graphic novels on order, we headed towards Border’s Bookstore. 

We spent the rest of the evening at Border’s reading.

My husband pointed out that they were doing Disney’s High School Musical and the popcorn might be an aberration due to it being a kid’s production.  I don’t think so.  I think they have discovered the wonders of the money made from concessions.  It just makes me sad.

How much more of the world is going to be cut off from me because popcorn can kill me?

Well, now I know the community theater is off limits – and Kohl’s when they are performing.
