The Show


You are not responsible for the Show.  You do not have to make sure everyone knows their lines or hits their cue.  The outcome is not yours to produce and certainly it is not your task to make good for the Critic.  Relax.

Your role…

Show up.  Participate.  Play.

This is not a scripted play but a free-form improv.  So don’t worry if there are flubs, missteps and forgotten lines.  This is what the Real is made of.  The Show will keep going.

The burden then is lifted.  You do not have to be the Director.  Simply deliver the best you can.  With your whole self, hold nothing back.  You have lines only you can deliver and your character has been invited to move the Story along.

Take joy in the performance…

This moment won’t come again.
