It isn't very likely that we will have snow on Christmas in Greensboro tomorrow, but, last night, for a couple of magical hours, a White Christmas came to the Carolina Theatre. The Irving Berlin classic from 1954 played to an almost full house. The audience was quiet, until a song was performed in the movie and then many audience clapped as if the actors themselves were performing on stage. A few times audience members sang along; they knew the lyrics by heart.
The Carolina Theatre has been a Greensboro institution since 1927 and it was recently refurbished and returned to its original glory. While they have many live performances throughout the year, it is not uncommon for the Carolina Theatre to show classic movies. If is a totally different experience to see those old movies in a theatre. It is as if they have been just released. We got an early Christmas present. As we were approaching the entrance, a woman gave us two free tickets. The world could use a little more joyful serendipity and genuine acts of kindness. Let's all engage in more of these acts.
Merry Christmas!
