One of the best gifts Evergreen has to offer is it's ability to bring people of various ages together. Every now and then, we get a golden opportunity to cast a multi-generational show. And AUNTIE MAME is just one of those shows.
You see, when the old and young get together, some really beautiful things happen. Youth of course, always brings high energy and humor to adults who can forget how playful theater is. And our seasoned actors have the chance to encourage and mentor the younger ones who are still developing their craft. So much of the toxicity in this world comes from a collective draining of empathy. We don't understand each other, and we don't want to. But theater invites us -- no, forces us -- to empathize.
It's an amazing mix - theater. People of every age and every race or belief coming together for one purpose and goal. For it's success, it takes patience, understanding, humor, give and take -- all the same pieces that make family and community.
