Opening Night

Last night was an Actors Bridge first. We've had sold-out openings before. But, last night we had 18 people on a waiting list to get in. THAT has never happened!

It was a fabulous audience. BIG LOVE to the St. Augustine's family who turned out in force -- especially to the women of Magdalene -- I couldn't have asked for a better, more responsive audience.

Now, the conversation has begun. Stories begat stories. I heard so many compelling faith narratives after the show last night!! I'm excited to see where all this goes...

Our dear Father Charlie Strobel was there last night -- loved it and is bringing a group from the Campus for Human Development back to see it next week.

To me the greatest testament to the power of theatre is when folks return with a crowd.

Thanks to everyone who has worked so hard to make this show ROCK: my beautiful cast, my amazing crew and the fabulous writing team. But, most of all to my hometown for sharing your personal stories with me.

Here's me and the UNBELIEVABLE Betsy -- 2 of the 6 person writing team. I gotta get a shot of all of us, man.
