I had the wonderful opportunity to see an amazing play, An Exaltation of Larks at the Kohler Center in Sheboygan.  It was developed by Sandglass Theatre's D-Generation which focuses on the creative potential of people living with late-stage dimension.

This play was based on stories written by groups of people with dementia who are played by puppets with three actors.  It was funny, sad, moving, and very creative.  My friend Sabrina, from college and New York, who went to the same grad school at a different time, invited me.  She was the lighting designer and is the Artistic Director of the KO Theatre in Amherst, MA which was involved in the development of the piece   I'm so glad that we went.  I loved the show and it was great to see Sabrina after.... 25 years?????

Wonderful work and it was another reminder about the stories we tell in the theatre and how much they connect to our lives and our understanding of the world...  Many reminders of my Mom as well.

Look at these puppets.  They are amazing!!!!!!
