Soaring Drama

Soaring Drama

Congratulations to our new President-Elect Barack Obama and our new Vice President-Elect Joe Biden.

Now that they have proven victorious in being elected to the White House, I'd like to offer timely and appropriate words offered by its very first occupant, President John Adams, founding father and second president of the United States:

"I pray Heaven to bestow the best blessings on this house and all that shall hereafter inhabit. May none but honest and wise men ever rule under this roof."
- John Adams in letter to his wife Abigail Adams
November 2, 1800

I join in wishing our leaders godspeed and wisdom.

This is Steve On Broadway (SOB).

Please, dear God, don't let me screw up.

As someone who has been involved in both politics and public relations, it's no wonder I love watching theatre. Good or bad, it's the raw energy of seeing a live performance that gets my adrenaline pumping. From the moment I saw my very first Broadway show ("Annie" in London in 1979), I was hooked. Now I see as many as 70 shows each year ranging from soaring musicals to two-hander plays. And these eyes just may be in an audience near you!
