I'm not going to list all of them, but I saw 68 shows in 2016 - one of my goals for the new year is to beat that number ideally by seeking out companies and works that are unlike what I've gravitated towards in the past. I began to do that a bit towards the end of 2016, and I had a lot of fun with it.

Almost everything that hit broadway? And more.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body
