[Theater] The Normal Heart (The Necessary Theatre)

I continue to make a conscious effort to include theater in our weekend activity calendar given how much time is invested in the gaming side of our lives together. There's nothing wrong with gaming in itself nor with gaming on a regular basis. However I do want to make sure that we continue to enjoy a diverse enough range of experiences together and that should obviously include our theater dates.

We missed out on the first run of The Normal Heart due to scheduling conflicts and the brevity of the run. This repeat staging was a modest blessing in this regard since it gave us another chance to see the show, although I will note that once again the show has been limited to a rather short run as well. Bummer.

The show in itself is quite powerful and it speaks volumes of the quality of the source material. There's a very powerful story here and the group of actors brought together for this production certainly did their best to bring the message home.
