As with all your writing about theatre in LA – and the world, this essay was insightful and ultimately encouraging. It’s great to feel an essence of purpose and a “call to arms” for the community as we call a wrap on 2022 and head into the new year. I especially appreciate the allegory of gardening as my husband and I have embarked on the adventure of moving to the northern outskirts of LA County to a little small rural community to renovate a little house on a big lot, where we plan a garden and fruit trees … and maybe chickens. The commute to LA proper will be daunting, but I plan to do it regularly to participate in and be an audience for theatre. Hopefully on occasion, bringing with me baskets full or tomatoes, zucchini and fruit. Or not. Thanks for this. I’m looking forward to next week’s installment from Arden.
