Everyone who knows us at Ground UP knows we love to do theatre! Our company is about putting on the best shows possible. It takes a lot of work behind the scenes to get a show up and running. Months of planning, scheduling, rehearsing, set building, all leading up to the performance. I love doing it, especially when I hear the audience laugh or even gasp. As much fun as it is behind the scenes, it's just as much fun to be on the other side. To sit back as an audience member, not worry about who's cue is next, what prop should be where, is quite a joy. Tonight I get to do such a thing. I get to be on the other side in the house. I'm going to see South Pacific at Lincoln Center. It's a musical theatre classic and this revival garnered tons of Tony awards. As an artist, we can only grow by looking at what others do, seeing their vision, and becoming part of the experience. Seeing other's visions mold us and influence us. So tonight, I will sit back and enjoy. Simply take in this masterpiece and all the joy it brings with it. It's a great change of pace from having to worry about budget, contracts, and ticket sales. Woo-Hoo.... you gotta love the other side.
