This week is flanked by the Connecticut High School Musical Theater Awards (CTHSMTA) and The Tony Awards on Sunday. It is difficult to think of a more idealistic way to start and end the week. We had a wonderful time at the CTHSMTA black tie gala earlier this week. And though we did not win nearly enough awards for our fantastic show, the evening was filled with music, dance and laughter. It was a joy to see our children on stage giving perfect performances, delighting the audiences.
We will soon gather in our Family Room for a casual and quiet but equally entertaining evening to watch the Tony Awards. We watch all award events and even discuss what it will be like when we all go to the Academy Awards together, but we secretly enjoy the Tony's the most. The evening is akin to watching a condensed version of the best of Broadway and the West End in under 3 hours. What's not to love about that?
We look forward to the entertainment of these events more than the recognition. Seeing incredible young CT talent come alive on stage fills the soul with beauty and hope. Watching the professionals during the Tony's ignites dreams and excites passions.
When we settled into our seats at the Palace Theatre for the awards this week, the organ pipes caught my attention. These are captivating - so majestic and grand. They elegantly represent the dreams of the artists on stage. It would seem only the very best music could exude from here, opening up the hearts and minds of the audience. A graceful reminder of the juxtaposition of our dreams and responsibility to affect others.
Best wishes!
