And Let's Not Forget....
........a Tony Award Nomination for:
The Most Loyal and Hardworking Musical Writing Team, with Show Yet Unproduced!
The Most Gifted Playwright Working Two Jobs and Writing Late Into the Night!
The Most Gifted Dancer Who Sweeps the Studio Floors for Free Classes!
and...of course:
The Most Gifted Theater Critic Who Actually Supports Shows Instead of Killing Them!
Where do we find these extraordinary people? If they are not in the forefront of the public's eye, how can we know who they are? How can we honor them?
Just knowing they are there...realizing that without them, there is no real show business..no real theater community...ah, yes.....community...Just knowing they are a reality of how we conduct our daily work....well, for now, that will have to be enough....BUT, knowing about them, giving these people a thought or two? Perhaps this will engender a sort of genrosity and compassion so sadly forgotten in our line of work so much of the time. We are all so ready to divide and win, instead of unite and really conquer the very things we originally go into theater to do: overwhelm the smallness of the human heart...expand the limited view of how we see the world...love in abundant amounts instead of fear and mistrust...at Tony time we need to remember why we do this work: to share the campfire on a cold night.
