Last
weekend my wife and I attended an excellent production of “Lombardi” at the Kentucky Repertory Theatre at Horse
Cave.
Greg
Johnston had the role of the legendary National Football League coach and
Donna Freeburn played his wife, Marie. They were superb as were the
supporting-cast members. We thought it was one of the best plays we’ve seen at
KRT, and we’ve attended quite a few in the past 15 years or
so.
The
performance, which ended July 29, had been extended an extra week because of
popular demand. We saw the Saturday matinee, which didn’t attract a large
audience. In fact, I counted only 14 people in the audience. I hope there were
more folks in attendance for the evening performance and Sunday’s
finale.
What
impressed me, and the reason for this post, was the professionalism of the
actors. They performed with so much verve that you would have thought it was
before a packed house. They made it a special experience for this
theater-goer.
As
this blog is generally about writing, I think it’s important for writers to give
their readers their best effort regardless of the size of the reading audience.
Make it a special experience for the reader.
Until the next time…
