Bloody Poetry Notes

We started rehearsals for Bloody Poetry in the first week of September 2001. By the second week the world had changed. As we wrestled with the question of whether the show really must go on, our determined group of actors and designers breathed new meaning into the play. The end result was a stirring re-assertion of humankind's enduring need for creative expression and cultivation of the imagination.

Even on nights when we played to only a handful of people in our downtown theatre, we could sense that the future wasn't bleak. There was an electricity in the air and an almost palpable sense of camaraderie between the actors and the audience. The special magic that comes with the shared experience of live theatre was charging through the house, and on these nights we were bolstered in our belief that the artist's deepest responsibility is to inspire others to live their lives in a more fulfilling, connected, thoughtful and sensitive way. Thank you to all of you who made it to see the show!
