Thank You, Chicago!

In the SJ Update mailbag we find this letter from Deb Langhans…

The arts have always represented a beacon of provocative inspiration… This gift was instantly accessible in the razzle dazzle production of “Chicago” I beheld last night at SJCT.  From the opening notes & first display of grinding hips, to the final sexy dance duet… from the sometimes electrifying elements of music, dance, costumes, sets, lighting, props… to all the invisible eyes & hands bringing it all miraculously together–even down to the numerous understated bio credits: What a nonstop kaleidoscope of creative excellence!

It seems to me “Chicago” provides us with so much more than quality community theatre entertainment.  It models essential elements worth cultivating in our country & our world today perhaps more than ever: To risk being vulnerable & truly seen… to summon the courage to reject stereotypes & celebrate ourselves & others as the multi-faceted, ever-evolving, miraculous beings we actually are… to embrace collaboration for the sake of a story larger & grander than our own egos…

Thank you, “Chicago,” for blessing our island with such commitment, skill & inspiration!
