it was an exciting week of previews, the show has been well received for the most part and now we start school matinees. last night we did an event for the inner sanctum of park square patrons. each of us spoke of our reflections of the play and gave personal insights of our journey. it's obvious that my take is the most visceral of our group. as frustrating as this has been, the opportunity to interact with the patrons here reminds me of centerstages strategy of a solid invested community of subscribers that have a sense of ownership with out attempting to steer the artistic direction of the theatre. and building a expectation of relationship between the jobbed in artists and the supporters. i see it takes the pressure off the AD being the only voice from the artist's end of the process. i enjoyed being a part of it.
