grief and the cure for it.
i didn't know when i posted earlier that august wilson had died. like sheila said, too soon. we aren't ready.
and it made me remember that i was going to urge all of you to go see spirit. it's possible that it won't move you the way it moved me, but even if that's true, the scene with the puppets with the bread-heads made me laugh so hard i kept being afraid i would start again at an inappropriate time in the show. there was so much joy, and there was so much very big sadness--and not so much of the sadness or joy was literal, but all of it wass accessible. and beautiful. just the right amount is told in words. we all say we like and admire ensemble work, but if we were really serious about it we would be creating a show like this. it only runs until the 9th. if this is your thing--connection, liveness, puppets, goofiness, tragedy, riding the wave--find a way.
