Style File Friday: Waiting for Godot

 Going to a play can be one of the most refreshing and inspiring things to do.  It can jump start creative juices and bring back personal memories.  I had the joy of being behind the scenes in a few high school and college plays so I am always thinking about all the people it takes to put the production on.  Even without having experience behind-the-scenes the excitement and exhileration of the performers, ingenious props, intricate costumes, delectible colors and plot line come together right in front of you, making for a truly intimate experience.

Today is the opening night for Waiting for Godot, a play being put on by The American Players Theatre.  They describe it as, "Does it qualify as irony that a play whose central concern is communication has inspired so much consternation over the years? No matter. Considered by many to be one of, if not the, most influential play of the 20th century, Waiting for Godot asks the big questions in ways few other works of art could: how do we get up every morning, fight through every day, and go to sleep every evening never knowing whether our hopes and dreams might be granted? Godot asks — with theatricality, tension, humor, and grace — that we rethink the world and our place within it."

If you do go I'd love to hear all about it!
