I was in St Cloud Sat eve to attend a Play at St Cloud State University, where my youngest son is a theater major. He had 4 small parts in the play, "Edmond" by David Mamet. It was a dark depressing play, brutal, sexual, shocking to see in the intimate setting of the downstairs theater in the Performing Arts Center. Good acting by the students in this student directed play, but I have questions about the choice of this play over the other consideration, which was " One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest."
A great discovery: Pioneer Place and the attendant Wine Bar and Veranda Lounge in a historic building( 1916)in Downtown St Cloud which has been beautifully restored. Over 200 wines, many available by the glass, and if you don't know what to drink, Nick, the bartender will make a knowledgeable suggestion. Co owner Mark( hope I have his name right) was the perfect host, and is good at recommending the perfect single malt scotch, "neat," out of by far the most generous offering of Scotches that I have seen in this area. You feel like you are in "Gatsby " when you are there. They have plays in the Pioneer Place Theater, concerts and a piano bar as well. What a place to bring a date. (The walk in urinal in the upstairs men's room is worth a visit, too).
