I was sitting behind a sound board, which, if you know me at all, is weird... sort of. Not so much that I was sitting behind a board, but that it was a sound board was the weird part. And, not that I was in the booth, because, I spend a good chunk of time in the 2-ish that we have, but the sound part. I'm not a sound technician. At all. Praise God that all I had to do was make sure the volume was good and that the play button went at the right time. Holla.
So, I'm sitting at this sound board and all the sudden, it hit me. I'd rather be there than anywhere else. Not necessarily behind the sound board (not really my forte), but I would rather be in the booth, in a theatre, watching a stage, moving/hanging/fixing/focusing lighting instruments, praising God for art than be anywhere else.
I had a conversation with a friend of mine, a graduating senior, last night at the last big departmental thing, and we started talking about what we wanted to do with our lives. We both agreed theatre, whatever we were doing had to involve theatre. There's nothing else for me. I love it. I love being in rehearsals all the time. I love painting into the late hours. I love being in the shop for hours. I love taking apart lighting equipment... and putting it back together. I love sitting with friends and inspiring each other, telling each other about projects, loving art together, creating together, getting one step closer to being better at our craft together. I love it.
So, praise God that He has given me not only the passion, but the means to be able to do what I do. That's what it's all about right. "where passion meets need"... and who doesn't need art?
