Sold Out (2011-07-17)

Today was a treat. The final Fringe Show of Mazel and Schlimazel. All week I have had audience members comment on how I engaged their children, how the show was loved etc. It is always nice to hear unsolicited comments from strangers. I act toToday was a treat. The final Fringe Show of Mazel and Schlimazel. All week I have had audience members comment on how I engaged their children, how the show was loved etc. It is always nice to hear unsolicited comments from strangers. I act to effect people and hearing those comments means I am effecting. It may have put a smile on someone's face, or a child might be a touch more thoughtful towards a sibling because of the show's moral message...whatever it is effect has occurred. It feels nice.

With that said, it felt like some buzz was happening and our houses, barring last Sunday were between 30 and 50 per cent. Good turn outs, not so great based on audience response. Today at 11:30 half hour before our doors opened, I was told Mazel and Schlimazel sold out. I was stunned. My first time performing to a sold out audience, (that I am able to remember). 
The work by all who made this show happen came to fruition in the one thing that can show it, people attending and enjoying themselves. Thank you universe and all those who attended, not just today, but all week. effect people and hearing those comments means I am effecting.
