Live Theatre Post

This year I included a wish on my [livejournal.com profile] holiday_wishes list for people to support local theatre and shows. This is your place to tell me about what you have seen this year.

I was in tenth grade and got suckered in when a friend asked if I had anything to do after school one day. My whole world changed...

My dad was bitching about having to go to the school plays to watch other kids and suggested I audition for the next one.

Ah, you have to appreciate parents. Mine just sent our theatre a resume (yeah, right). He wants to design "Legally Blonde" next year, but I think he just wants to come home for a while (he works on Broadway as a designer) on our dime.

That's really kind of awesome!

Considering there was no pressure for him to follow his old mum. My best moment was building a set for him (South Pacific). Ironically, it was the last set I built as my back blew after that.

My mom enjoys seeing plays, but neither of them ever pursued it.

My folks never really expressed an interest in seeing anything I'd done, well, when I was in high school they came. But then I moved to the West Coast and that was that.

Same here. Mom hasn't seen one of my shows since college, my dad since high school.

You are lucky they are still with you. I lost Da in 1983 and Mum in 2000...

I really am. I got to see them at Christmas this year.
