Theatre High
Jun. 16th, 2011 07:37 pmI ran into ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
derspatchel just a little while ago in Davis Square. I was on my way home, and he was headed off to perform in The Anarchist Society of Shakespeareans' A Midsummer Night's Dream.
That boy was on cloud 9; about the show, the cast, the esprit de corps of the project. He looked like a man newly in love. I said "You have NRE!" (New Relationship Energy) He was giddy. I bet he'll give a stellar performance tonight, floating on that kind of theatre buzz.
That's a familiar magic. His glow reminded me of the earliest days of Theatre@First. He and I were both in the very first T@F show. It was low-budget, hard-scrabble, and 100% electric with synergy. We were a cast in omni-directional crush with the group and with the thing we were creating. I will never forget that feeling as long as I live.derspatchel was sparkling with that energy when I saw him this evening. I'm so happy that he and my many friends in the show are getting to experience that seat-of-the-pants theatre magic, which is like no other magic in the world.
beowabbit and I tried to see the show this past Sunday, but traffic and getting out of the house too late made us miss it. Not this week. Come hell or high water we will be there this coming Sunday. I want to catch some of that buzz vicariously.
Break a leg, and see you Sunday!
