I was lucky enough to have parents who exposed me to a lot of beautiful music when I was
a kid. During the weekends, Dad would put on an album of an opera or a piece of classical music and let it play all day long. Because of that, I developed a great appreciation for both. But theatre is the thing that, later in my adulthood, I've seemed to have connected with the most. So visceral...
No, I don't know everything there is to know about theatre. Not by a long shot. I'm not a student of it or anything. I'm a video editor by day, but I love theatre enough to do a bit of reading about certain aspects of it and see as much as I can. As my mom told me years ago though, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing...
Fortunately for me, and all St. Louisans, this town is dripping with a wide ranging array of exciting theatre companies. Check them out! They're the best kept secret in this town.
These are just my observations, opinions and occasional ramblings.
Thanks for reading -- comments much appreciated and welcome!
