LIFE IS A MATINEE

One of the reasons I've devoted my life to as many forms of theatre as I can embrace is that theatre is the most perfect metaphor for the mysteries of Life.

We wash up onto a shore of Make Believe in the land of What-If . We willingly surrender, temporarily, to believe and act in a story so that we have an experience that otherwise may simply not be possible.

Like children at play, we suspend disbelief and pretend so that we can discover something real. Along the way we get to experience answers to the question “What am I now?”

How cool is that?

Just remember, though, it is only pretend. Heaven got boring, so we're out for a matinee. Enjoy it. We'll go home later and compare notes... OK?
