While we're talking about theater this weekend ...

But, on Nov. 9, it was something else to see
@StephanieJBlock as Trina. From the opening words of "Trina's Song," the audience changed. -
She sings: "I'm tired of all the happy men who rule the world. ... They smile, but not for me. I'd like the chance to hide in their world."
-
The oxygen went out of the room.

It's a short song, leading into the "March of the Falsettos," but there was a moment when Block herself appeared that she needed a second.
-
"And I'll roar, like I'm wired. I'll explore what I'm feeling, Accept what I'm feeling is tired. I'm tired."
-
It was a song that premiered in a show off-Broadway more than 35 years ago, yet, that night, it was imbued with completely new meaning.

That is what great theater is about.
