Quite simply a lovely ode to that thing we all do, written during a time when we needed the reminder, yet as eternal as its subject. More than an ode, really: a testament.

This beautiful poem on the power of theatre would make an excellent curtain raiser for festivals.

This monologue about the resiliency and importance of theater reads like poetry! It is gorgeous, and I feel like today was the perfect time to read it, as theaters are beginning to open back up and we’re all beginning to fill them again. I once read an article about how scientists discovered that our hearts sync up and beat as one in the theater, and this monologue feels like the perfect companion piece to that article, explaining why that is.
