Blown Away

Watched Steven perform with his Playback Theatre Company (http://www.playbackworkshoptheatre.com)  this weekend. Basically, his group of 5 actors act out stories on the spot shared by audience members.  This particular event was for National Coming Out Day.  The group has also performed for Survivors of War trauma, prisoners, etc..

So, not only does he have absolutely no idea what he will be performing in front of, in this case, a big ol’ crowd, he’s also attempting to honor people’s very personal, sensitive stories.  Yikes!  You could not pay me a million dollars to do this.

And not only did he do it, he and his troupe did a PHENOMENAL job.  I wish you could have been there.  I was bawling my eyes out at a couple of these stories— and what the actors created was a true piece of art in motion.  You should have heard the audience feedback he got!  I’m so proud!
