A long time ago, I dated a girl who was very artsy. About every other month, we'd go out to dinner someplace fancy, then go to one of the above events. We didn't do any musicals, but we did do the other two.
As a parent, kid-free time is at a huge premium. The last time we went out to just dinner was months ago. The last movie we saw together was Saving Mr. Banks. I just looked.
That came out over two years ago.
We need this.
So, why these activites? We have a ballet company in Columbus. They do an awesome Dracula every year. My wife really likes The Nutcracker, so we may go see that too.
Plays are cheap to see in a community theater. There's a high school nearby. We'd really be supporting out community by going to that.
Also, I just looked up my town and realized there's a college here. Their theater department can probably hook me up with this goal too. (When I was at OU, they did a badass A Midsummer Night's Dream. (Yes, I just described a Shakespeare comedy as badass.)
Musical is probably the same as the high school play, but some broadway musicals tour through Columbus, so there's a chance for that.
Also, in Columbus, we have The Columbus Symphony. That'll definitely be a dress up event.
One other thing about this goal, they all have to be done within a year. (Not necessarily the same calendar year, but once we go to a play, we have 364 days to go to a ballet, musical, and a symphony.)
