This past Tuesday night, our Vs. group had a thrilling discussion centered around the question: “What was the best production you ever saw?”
It was fun to hear everyone’s responses, all the varied types of shows, the reasons why something made the cut and the lasting impact it had on them. The energy was inspiring and infectious.
Noticing that almost all the shows mentioned were from a while back, I asked the group if they thought it was still possible for a brand new production, something that they had not yet seen, to ever top the list.
My playwright friend Michael had the perfect response: “Of course! That’s my hope every time I go see a play. That this one will be the best production I ever saw.”
Go make your art. And when you do, strive to make it the best thing that someone will ever see.
