Must Read for the Day (the year even)

Mead Hunter has it. FOR SHAWN-MARIE GARRETT: UPON EXITING THE AMERICAN THEATRE (LONG AFTER, IN FACT) by Matthew David Wilder.

I'm not going to pull any quotes because the satisfaction is in reading and letting it unfold.

I don't agree with everything. I still think it's possible to experience the sublime in the theater. It is rare, (I can count on one hand the number of sublime performances I'd seen before this year) and maybe that was not always the case. But this year, I've seen three performances that were and but no, they didn't all have much to do with text; yet each were unique and on the cusp of something that I'm still struggling to find words to describe.

But anyway, read.
