As part of the Go North! Festival celebrating the North End and the amazing community of artists and small businesses there, DaPoPo put on an all-day Café buffet at The Good Food Emporium.We seemed to work in bursts. A few tables scattered throughout the day but then larger groups arriving with the organized festival tours and only staying for about 10 minutes. This was a challenge to get orders and fill them for the quick turnaround, but we hit our stride soon enough.
One particular tour was greeted with the beautiful chorus of "Sunday" from our production of "Sunday in the Park with George" Then a rapid fire sonnet, a monologue from "Apocalypse 2006" and a scene from our adaptation of "RUR" and they were out the door to the next stop on the tour.Lynette was on hand with amazing accompaniament and Ariel sang even when no one was there. Keelin answered a special song request from a patron who had been at one of the very first Cafés in the original Mollyz.
Eric, as Harry, demonstrated the perfect artificial skin of the robot Sulla, played by Kristi. Mike had a go at the keyboard for a few singalong popular songs.
Meg dropped by on her way to the last performance of her show "Honey & Jupiter" but we couldn't entice her to perform. Bonnie organized us all and jumped into the fray when the big groups came.
A lovely conversation with some people who stayed for a bit... they wanted to know more about the company, if we ever did the Cafe for special events... oh! My kingdom for a business card! And yes, we certainly could and probably would.
