Mt first..."Our Town" by Thornton Wilder. Mt first memory of it was sitting in on the bleacher-style seats of my high school gym, watching one of my classmates feign the wisdom of the Stage Manager, who was the person who saw the meaning of everything, the inner selves of characters and the significance of relationships and culture. I suppose it was my introduction to the idea of a philosopher. And tears come to my eyes as I consider the joy of looking back at shared history, of our family, our "town" of Detroit, our relationships that are rooted in both.John Danielshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17093556296860836001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154649481632827304.post-15049122305492359282010-08-04T15:39:36.978-04:002010-08-04T15:39:36.978-04:00The Importance of Being Earnest, A Trivial Comedy ...The Importance of Being Earnest, A Trivial Comedy for Serious People<br />Oscar Wilde<br /><br />Watching this play performed by a community theater when I was in High School sparked my interest in reading plays.

The romance hooked me and the stories within stories caught me completely. Then I began watching movies based on the books and finally I can read Jane Austen books. (Previously I just couldn't get into them now I find that since I know more of the story the little details are not lost on me and the story is even richer.) Although it is not a stage play Pride and Prejudice the movie with Kiera Knightly made us all ever more interested in Austen! The Sister are almost reading to begin reading her, I think we will start with Emma.The Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08424375888861598744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154649481632827304.post-55746364642137799592010-08-04T08:34:08.055-04:002010-08-04T08:34:08.055-04:00Love's Labour's Lost
