Last night I performed in the annual benefit for the Mountain Play, this year titled "The Musicals Man". Next year the Mountain Play will be producing The Music Man, and it will be the last year of current artistic director Jim Dunn (hence the title). Jim has directed the mountain play for the last three decades. Crazy. Anyhow it was a wonderful night full of music and amazingly talented people.
The mountain play is a very special family to be a part of. It has been around for 99 years (well this is the 99th year) so there is quite a legacy of people who have been a part of the productions. I myself performed in six straight years, though haven't joined the fun for the last four. This years celebration of Jim's thirty years on the mountain really showcased the family that is the mountain play- the many people that have come before, and those who will come after. It was very special to be a part of.
Today, I am grateful to be a part of the wonderful organization the mountain play, that has created an artistic family and allows me to continuing sharing my musical heart with the world at least once a year.
