Lake Effect

On our day off between performances, I had the chance to visit Cormorant Lake in Minnesota where one of our cast members, Janice Aiken, has a family home. Local residents flock to the lakes like Southerners flock to the beaches. Hopefully the midwestern sense of egalitarianism and fair play will allow shabby shacks and double wides to continue to exist alongside upscale vacation homes. This sense of economic diversity is gone from Florida's Gulf Coast.
