Robin Dodd Photography

                                                Today BY  BILLY COLLINS If ever there were a spring day so perfect,            so uplifted by a warm intermittent breeze                 that it made you want to throw                            open all the windows in the house        and unlatch the door to the canary's cage,                   indeed, rip the little door from its jamb,           a day when the cool brick paths               and the garden bursting with peonies           seemed so etched in sunlight         ...

( I'm not even going to ask if that made sense LOL ) When I walked into Baylor Theatre over 25 years ago, I had a sense of home that I had never felt before. I loved the solitude of being on stage, the complete vulnerability and safety of it, just blew my mind. So even though I haven't been in a play "except in my living room" hahahaha for the past 8 years or so, I love going to the  theatre, and  ESPECIALLY the  Theater Bug ,   in East Nashville, where these kids just rock my world with their depth and sweetness and hilarity and Cori writes and directs these brilliant plays..perhaps you've seen some of those  kids photos flo...
