Self Mandate

I need to see more theatre. I don't see enough and I really need to. How can I be an active member of this community without being part of the community? How can I know what's going on without experiencing it? Part of not seeing performances has to do with scheduling, part of it is money, part of it is ... I suppose just laziness. But my desire is to support and thrive in this community, and I believe that in order to do so, I need to get rid of my excuses and just go see things. I've known it for a long time. I think when my birthday comes around every year, I take stock and try to figure out what it is I want to accomplish before my next birthday. And of course, this is a biggie. I don't have a list of things I want to do before I'm thirty, but I do know that bringing live performance into my life on a weekly basis (at least) is something I want to have in my life and I want to instill it in the lives of my children whenever they come along. NOW is the right time to do it.
