Go see a live show, just do it.

I went to the theatre in Stratford, Ontario, this weekend. I saw Frankenstein Revived, Spamalot, and King Lear, to be exact. But I don’t intend to review them; they were all great. See them if you have the chance.

This weekend, I was reminded of how unique the live performance experience is. There is something genuinely different about live, in-person performance. There is the sense that the performers are without a safety net; there are no reshoots or edits. In the moment, there is a connection between the audience and the performers that does not happen while listening to an album or watching a screen. There is the fact that every performance will be different.

Go out and see a show; there is magic in seeing the arts live.
