First, here's a link to a nice gallery of photos from the Daily Record.

These were taken while we were performing on the Royal Mile (They took pics of us too, but we evidently didn't make the cut). Still, a nice look at what was going on at the time.

Picture
After breakfast here at Pollock, we hopped a bus to The Space @ Surgeon's Hall to See Dying City, a play by Christopher Shinn.  A good play, but overall a very amateurish production.

We then went back over to Pleasance Courtyard to see the Complete History of Comedy (Abridged) - this is the latest offering from the guys at the Reduced Shakespeare Company - the ones that do the hilarious  Complete Works of Shakespeare (Abridged). The show traced the evolution of comedy since it's earliest days and was, of course, extremely funny - and Camille was even pulled up on stage to provide sound effects for an improv.  We keep getting chosen to go on stage for these shows!  It must be the sea of matching shirts.

After the show, the cast all got to meet the RSC guys.  Pretty cool!

We then hopped a bus back to Pollock to hop the AHSTF bus to take us to see Godspell, put on at Pilrig.  It's the first thing we've gotten to see at the other AHSTF venue.

Once we returned, we had just enough time to change and get ready for our final performance of Midsummer/Jersey.  The show went wonderfully - their strongest ever - and we finally had a large and vocal audience - they ate it up!  The kids were quite excited on the ride back to Pollock, as you can see...
I think the realization that something that we've been a part of for over a year is ending has started to kick in.  Intermingled with the excitement and revelry was the occasional moment of waxing philosophical. We finally ended the night with some celebratory pizza and went to bed.  Another winning day.
