Cheesy, Theater Date Night

Back at Christmas, we had a fun, story-filled visit with Brad's cousin, Deborah. She told us she was was playing the lead in the upcoming production of Arsenic and Old Lace at Pentacle Theatre.

So last week, we bought tickets and planned a date night in Salem!

First stop: cheese samples and dinner at Don Froylan Creamery. I recently heard about their award-winning cheese - and their quesadilla bar! 

Giant ball of Oaxaca cheese right inside the door!

After sampling the cheeses, I picked a nachos with Oaxaca and guacamole - and horchata:

Brad ordered a burrito with chipotle Aserado - and a strawberry Jaritos:

It was all so good! We were way too full to have ice cream or shakes for dessert. Next time for sure!

The place was also covered in rainbow and BLM stickers! Definitely try this next time you're in Salem.

Then we drove to Pentacle, which is in a gorgeous wooded setting west of town.

We still mask in crowds - for our health and the health of our community.

It's a very intimate theater.

Cousin Deborah!

It was such a fun play! We really enjoyed the performers, the script, and the set. Nicely done, Deborah!!!! 💕
