When I left the "big city" to come South, one of my objectives was to find a place where I could still enjoy museums, the theater, and take art classes. Savannah and The Landings seemed to be the perfect place ! And it has certainly proven to be true. My first year here I decided ceramics classes would be what I would tackle first. After two years and countless pots of various shapes and sizes, I decided to try my hand at jewelery making. A few classes in Savannah  and zillions of beads later, I had made bracelets and earings for all my friends and family up North and here in Savannah. In the meantime, I had discovered the many theaters in Savannah and Hilton Head and saw some really fantastic performances.

This weekend, however, I was so pleasantly surprised when my husband, a friend and I  took the 45 minute drive into Bluffton to see the May River Theater's production of Jekyll & Hyde. I had seen the Broadway production and wasn't sure what to expect. Well, Daniel Cort, who played Jekyll (and obviously Mr. Hyde) was just fantastic! I was riveted to my seat. He was incredible -- touching and vulnerable as Dr. Jekyll and absolutely frightening as Mr. Hyde (as it should be). I later found out after reading the program more closely, that his lovely wife played Lucy -- what a Star! It was an enjoyable evening, great acting, and all for just $20 a ticket.

Savannah and its surrounding theaters have not dissapointed ... its a great place to live if you're looking for the arts!
