Great clarification, Colin, thanks!
In that vein, here are a couple of pics from back in December when I went to a theatrical performance, the Christmas Revels in Oakland.
Attendance is an annual tradition I've observed for over a decade, and I do like to dress up a bit more for this one; but I still like to "keep it simple". Here are two pics from that day, one indoors on the stage at the Scottish Rite Center and the other outdoors across the street:

I'm killed in the war or hung during peace."
