So, based on the fact I want Mom to see both I Never Slept With Helen Keller and the limitation of sight, and she's only in town for opening weekend, Thursday through Sunday, that helps focus the schedule a little.
I want to go to the opening for the limitation of sight, which is Saturday 8/4 at 4pm.
That blocks out the 4pm and 5:30pm slot, since it's a 75 minute show at the Bryant Lake Bowl.
I Never Slept With Helen Keller has two perfs on opening weekend, one of which falls on Saturday 8/4 at 5:30pm, which I just knocked out.
The other time is Friday, 8/3 at 7pm, so that's when we'll be checking that one out - which also happens to be its opening.
Mom's Schedule Thus Far
Thursday 8/2 - still wide open
Friday 8/3 - 7pm - I Never Slept With Helen Keller - opening perf
Saturday 8/4 - 4pm - the limitation of sight - opening perf
Sunday 8/5 - still wide open
On to more shows I'm fond of, to make scheduling difficult.

Fringers On Stage This Week
