tis the season


for holiday parties and holiday shows! my time is long overdue for the nutcracker. i was in it as a child. guess who/what i was? with pride i was the best mouse on stage! don't sleep on my acting/ballet skills! :-) clearly i am no longer spending my time on stage rather i prefer to watch others. i saw the nutcracker a few years back in boston and i want to see it again. if you have never seen it, i strongly recommend you get out there and do so. tickets of course are a bit pricey, but it's so worth it! there are adaptations to the ballet: hip hop, jazz then you have the costume adaptations like victorian or contemporary. whatever your preference, just watch it; it's guaranteed to be a wonderful musical and visual experience.

now that my life appears to be back on track i would like to go to more plays, ballets, show and theatre events. i love the art and i love them more because i lack the artistic ability. on my list is RENT. i watched it for the first time in boston at the wang when i was 16 years old. i had no idea what the story was about, but i knew i loved the song "seasons of love." boy was i in for a shock when the themes and subject matters were revealed. i was not braced for that at all and because of my nievity i was unable to fully enjoy the plot line, music, set design or the overall experience. i think it's time for a redo. this season was the last for the broadway show. luckily for me i live in DC where RENT will be starting it's 10th season early next year! you betcha i'll have my ticket in hand!

measured in love,

posh
