The Start

     You are here
     at the start of a moment
     at the edge of the world
     where the river meets the sea
---------- Welcome to the Rock, Come From Away

Over the next few months I will be writing about my experiences at different theatrical events.  From traditional ones like the amazing new musical quoted above to hockey games to immersive experiences the world is full of theater.  The first traditional theater event I attended was Shakespeare's As You Like It at The Stratford Festival Theater, depicted as the background of this blog.  I was so young that I did not truly appreciate the words of the play but what I did understand was the experience and the eventfulness. The emotions of the crowd and actors, the stage and lighting, the sheer joy of my mother at seeing my enjoyment of her favorite art form. There was so much to take in.

This class will hopefully introduce me to other truly remarkable and unique moments with new individuals and I can't wait to get started.
