The arts...

Everyone's been talking about Marvin Hamlisch today. I've read memories of meeting him, stories about when and where people saw their first production of A Chorus Line. That's what I love about the arts. If you connect with the material, the performances, it will be etched on your heart. I love to hear people's stories and memories of when they saw a show and what they remember about it. Some people will claim it changed their life. And I believe that, that art, the arts, can change lives. It may not be a huge, life-altering change, but even in the tiniest of ways. You are opening your heart and mind to this idea, this show, this moment. I think that's amazing.
