We're going to pretend like I wrote this last night at about 10:00 right after I got done seeing the musical,Avenue Q, w/ Lora and one of our students, Louisa. That's about the time I was driving home from Mason City. It was an amazing production w/ characters to whom I could relate (even the puppet ones); singing that was phenomenal by actors playing multiple roles sometimes simultaneously; blocking that was intricately timed to coordinate two people sometimes maneuvering one puppet; the spectacle of a large floating puppet head, and a set that looked like a pop-up book w/ different windows and compartments opening and closing. No, Louisa, you cannot use what I just wrote as part of your reaction paper for our theatre class.
This day and this night reminded me of the beauty and joy that can be found in life through music, theatre, movement, and time spent w/ friends.
I couldn't have said it better myself.
