Did anyone out there attend a performance of Peggy Fleming's "Theatre in the Round" show during the early 1970s? OK, I know I'm dating myself here, and probably many of you weren't even born then. I was young then, and living and working in the Washington, DC area. A group of us attended a performance at the Shady Grove Music Fair outside of Rockwille, Maryland.
The "rink" was a small square, in the middle of a theatre in the round. Peggy and her cast were outstanding, and despite the smallness of the ice area, they executed a number of jumps, spins, and lifts. Peggy was so beautiful (and still is). The theatre was packed, and the fans were very appreciative.
Sometimes the silliest things stick in your memory. Right after intermission, as Peggy was on her way down the stairs and back onto the ice, a guy holding a large tray of hot dogs and sodas suddenly cut right in front of her. Duh. Peggy nearly ran that guy over, food and all, but she adroitly sidestepped into the aisle to avoid a certain collision.
