apotheosis.....

went to Sybil's play last night---Fondly, Colette Richland---and was blown away. Great experience, made more powerful by the fact that I knew the work of most of the actors. An amazing bond created between the ERS actors and Sibyl's writing. Was not sure if I would go with the crazy quilt experience that happens midway into Act I, but found myself enjoying it, understanding the language that Sybil was using, and was feeling very upbeat and goodnatured about it when I spoke to Sybil after Act I. Act II continued in that vein, but it built, and became more bizarre, I found myself grooving with the characters more and more and then that amazing dance piece about 10 minutes before the end, just blew me away---everything in the play was leading up to that---made the whole experience so exciting.
Afterwards, congratulated Sybil, she invited me to have a beer with several members of the cast and a friend of hers---Great discussion afterwards with Laurena, Suzi and Sybil. Felt very creative. Sybil seemed to need a boost of confidence--and I hope our discussion gave it to her; her work--language wise and thought wise, is really terrific. Not a play for everyone, but those who understand what is going on, the continuing vision from Sound and the Fury for the company, the amazing costumes whose colors add so much to the play, will hopefully be, like I was, truly astounded.
  What do I mean by 'apotheosis"? Just, as I was thinking this morning, a sense that the vision of myself as a creative person, that began really in my senior year of college, was fulfilled in the conversation that followed the play. Really glad that I could communicate my vision of what was on the stage, and that the actors were so happy to receive it.
Anyway, back to the "harsh realities" of the present---after this two lessons and then probably will go to FUREE meeting tonight at the projects at 6, After that, maybe will leave in time to go to Merlin's reading at JACK, maybe go back and visit my bartender friend Erin...maybe..well, we will see
