Oh wow. What a story. I forget sometimes what it is I'm helping other people do.

Great video.

Coincidentally, our artistic director mentions 'being present' in his pre-show announcement when telling audience members to shut off their phones.  Always gets a good chuckle and sometimes clapping here and there. Being present is important in life and I think more and more people are starting to think so.
