from the director

The political scene today! Whew! It seems to be all about who gets the power. In directing this play, I found it fun to think about those people behind the scenes who know all too well the human foolishness and frailty that exists in our chosen leaders. What tremendous energy and creativity it must take from dedicated public servants to hold it all together! And for the rest of us watching it all unfold, how absolutely essential a sense of humor has become.
