Emily: Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it?—every, every minute?

Stage Manager: No, they don't. Saints and poets, some.

Yeah ok so the CUBBIES WIN~!!! {and the Bears?!?!}

But theatre geek me was watching Our Town on Channel 11. when the Cubbies cinched it.

And I was crying at the final act per usual. I love that play so much. I can't even explain how much that play has affected my life. When I directed and acted in Champaign, I felt like all of that was supposed to lead up to the day that I was finally going to direct Thorton Wilder's play. I remember being SO impressed with mime. And the simplicity of the bareness of a stage.

This production was a bit different being directed James Naughton and starring Paul Newman. Interesting choices in production. The big impression I had from this play was with the television version in the '70s starring Bobby Benson. Gosh I can go on... And I might later

Must do a Goodbye World note again...

Bloody Hell... missed Coupling
