A New Play

THIS IS A REVIEW OF A FICTITIOUS PLAY MEANT TO HELP OUR WOUNDED PSYCHES.

I walked into the theatre last night a cynic. Two hours later, I emerged reborn. In what is sure to take us by the hand and lead us in from the cold, a new play has now opened to a stunned and captivated audience.

It is a wake up call to the American public. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. Pick yourself up, get off your derriere and get back in the game. When times get tough (you know the rest).

Arising out of the ashes is a bright new star for today and many tomorrows. The lead was played by a young man who not too long ago was known only by a select few. Carrying himself with a dignity and purpose we have not seen in many years, our hero invoked worship from the gathered throngs. He was born to lead and lead he would.

From the worst of times do we find the best? It is in our most vulnerable moments that our true strength emerges. These are the lessons we are taught, as we sit as mesmerized students, listening and learning. We want to believe. We have to believe. We do believe.

We should travel, as one, to the theatre tomorrow and for as many tomorrows thereafter as it takes for us to emerge refreshed and ready to take on the fight. In these times where every dollar has meaning, we will leave the theatre much richer than when we arrived. Run, don’t walk, to become part of an experience that will change you forever.
