Inspiration from a friend


I have a friend named Aaron. He is a creative, energetic, gentle giant of a guy. “The Green Candle Theatre Company” of Burlington, Vt has become his playground for creativity, in which he is the president of these local artisans. This is a troupe of actors who perform only original material and all this is on practically a non-extant budget.  
 Aaron just finished a long running show called “The Napoleon 2012”. This show ran for impressive 6 weeks. I’m not sure how successful the show was but I was impressed by it.  I had a unique point of view due to the fact that I knew Aaron. Some of the scenes were very “Aaronfied”. In other words, Aaron brought his own distinct personality into it. There were times were Katie and I were the only ones laughing, because of the “Aaronfied” scenes.

There was an introduction in the beginning of the brochure to this creative endeavor that really hit home to me  (which my wife pointed out to me). My interpretation to it is the following: Dream. Follow-up to those dreams. Strive to make the dreams a reality. Don’t worry about doubt or criticism. These are concepts that I must follow. I thank my friend Aaron for reminding me of these wonderful ideas. I will strive to live up to these tenants! Thanks, Brother!
