So badass. The power of theater, of folks gathered in a darkened room to enjoy/participate in the magic. Nothing like it. And to do it with your kid is THE BEST. Happy for you. Thanks for sharing the joy and hope.
YES. That's exactly it. Yesterday I saw someone online (in the name of snark) commenting that he didn't care who was "winning best actress in a musical" (presumably a demeaning thing of no import) while people are getting shot by rubber bullets at protests. Like, are you kidding me? Art, music, theater have immense value as effective protest mediums. That's why this administration so intent on targeting it.
Oops, I guess there's my rant for the morning. So good to see you here Robert! You always bring the joy and hope right back.
The fact that we’re *here* 10 years later is a real gut punch though. 😔
We're still alive, so we got that going for us

A play that got an entire generation (or two) excited about American history -- talk about effective and meaningful activism!

Once an art brat, always an art brat.
