The show must go on...

Julia and I may have had to return to the city (and our day jobs), but the show is still going strong in Weston. We're loving the reports we're getting of the performances both officially and on Facebook.  My favorite quote so far was overheard by our drummer, Jeremy Yaddaw - a woman left the theater saying "I surprised myself by really liking it!"

The amazing talkbacks have continued, with Steve and the cast jumping up on stage to continue the discussions with the audiences.  Over the past three performances the guests have included Steve Trombley, (President and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Northern New England), Jon Bliss (minister of Weston's Old Parish Church and a former educator and mental health worker), Stephen Stearns (Artistic Director of the New England Youth Theatre), and Psychotherapist & Family Counselor Jim Carew.

Tomorrow morning is our student matinee, complete with a sign interpretation, and our penultimate performance.  I can't wait to get back for the closing night on Saturday!
