This Is Beautiful: Live Theater

 This past weekend I went to see TWO live shows. One was "Bakkhai" that a student theater group was putting on, and one was "Much Ado About Nothing" that a local theater troupe was performing. Both were so fun! And they were very different vibes as well, "Bakkhai" is a cautionary tale about not making a god angry while "Much Ado" is a Shakespeare comedy. But both of them really made me appreciate the difference with live theater and having people physically in front of you doing the motions in real time. It is so different from watching it on a screen because you are there and get the small shock when actors yell at you or can see them sweat under the lights. And it feels so much more immersive that way. Live theater is awesome. That's all.
