Like, not chamber music or choirs, but local rock bands? Also a performing arts discipline that is in no danger of dying that seems largely overlooked by this whole conversation...<BR/><BR/>Maybe it's just 'cause I dig rock stars...<BR/><BR/>The good news that we can all share in is that, if/when the apocalypse comes and all our technology is destroyed, live theatre will still be there. <BR/><BR/>Storytelling is oral history, and it will always exist in one form or another, and I'm grateful for at least that. 'Cause as long as people are telling stories...on stage, on TV, on the web, in someone's living room...I will have a job. :)Angelika HausFrauSkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02016376514778957706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29175306.post-28575024199318643832008-12-19T21:27:00.000-05:002008-12-19T21:27:00.000-05:00Yes, it's pretty amazing, and think of how many fa...Yes, it's pretty amazing, and think of how many family holiday cards we've been on!pnlkotulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11264003364077943042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29175306.post-20288225976373874272008-12-19T08:27:00.000-05:002008-12-19T08:27:00.000-05:00The wonderful thing about the "Drifty" show is tha...The wonderful thing about the "Drifty" show is that I see people who came as children and are now young parents themselves continuing the tradition. It's what keeps me being Drifty...as well as having alot of fun doing it. People have photo's of me with their kids going back 17 years!! And each year they add a new one...and the kids...now older teenagers...seem to look forward to it!! It's great to be a part of that!!Joy W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14060732177669226816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29175306.post-87583051433309401762008-12-18T13:11:00.000-05:002008-12-18T13:11:00.000-05:00There is a straight evolutionary line from theatre...There is a straight evolutionary line from theatre through movies, television, and now the many web-based "shows" that are available.<BR/><BR/>Movies, television, and the web are constantly changing and reinventing themselves, while theatre has stubbornly remained constant.
