When I read of the fifth anniversary, I flashed on the stirring footage of Beth Malone leading the Fun Home company around the Circle in the Square stage that night, holding the rainbow flag. The combination of the historic event and the haunting show defined a potent moment. One that seems so unlike these times, when not dissimilar rights are being fought for (SCOTUS, recent) and NYC theater is dark.
Celebration, even through the prism of the difficult present, buoys and strengthens us. |
