On the Road with Taproot Theatre

by Alicia Anderson

After returning from a long and adventurous time of Christmas touring, the Road Company is back together and better than ever! Not only in the acting department ;) but technologically as well. When we returned we were greeted with the awesome and totally exciting news that a donor had come on board and blessed us with the most amazing Christmas gift of...

drum roll please...

a GPS!

We were thrilled! We couldn't wait to get in the car and test this new piece of technological genius out. After years of exploring through uncharted areas and guessing on sides streets with no names, we would finally be getting a "cheat sheet" to help us get to our destinations!

Our first time out with it we were excited beyond measurement - not only did we find shorter routes, but the GPS knows everything that's around the area (where to eat, get coffee, etc.) SO we had a lot of fun getting to learn all the ins and outs of this brilliant little piece of machinery. Furthermore, with us being the personal people we are, we had to give the GPS a name. As some of you know, on our earlier blogs we have referred to our giant 15 passenger white van endearingly as "Simone", so what would be a more fitting name for its counterpart than "Pumba". So now when we roll up to your school we are accompanied by the incomparable duo of Pumba and Simone!

Thank you so much to our benefactors who have blessed us so greatly! We love you!
