The Performing Life - Manic Depression as a Vocation

Well, we did it - we performed our dinner theatre cabaret, The Dictatorship of Debt, on Sunday night. As many lamps from peoples' homes, candles, and strategically placed stage lights provided a wonderful atmosphere along with the live music that was played by a small band of musicians, we re-created a sort of cartoon cabaret version of the world in which we re-enacted how the world economy works against the world's poor, using the dinner as an example of the world's wealth is mis-distributed. There was a very good energy in the room that supported us even though we could have been better prepared performance-wise. Ah, but all the elements were there for a truly great show - and I think the shows we'll do in April will truly be great.
