THE MAD HATTER

Hear ye! Hear ye! The Mad Hatter’s coming back, and I say not a moment too soon.  As we are forced to witness unspeakable cruelty and crimes against humanity on a daily basis, we need to be reminded of the joyful possibilities of life, the pleasures of a fantastic voyage, and the sweet innocence of childhood. 

The Mad Hatter teaches us how precious we are to each other.  The Tea Party is about friends and family and love. Civic pride, too, gets a place at the table as I see it.  After all, The Mad Hatter is Maestro Malifrando’s chef d'oeuvre about the fair city of Vallejo, a fitting tribute that calls upon its lovable crackpots to come out and play.

On Wednesday, July 4^th. for a few short hours, I plan to leave my worries behind and sashay down to the river to find friends, enjoy exotic street food, and get into the spirit of madness and fun.
