No, we are not totally out of the woods yet, and yes, we still need to wear our masks, but my darlings, we are starting to see that there is a light in the distance. Vaccinations against this dreaded virus are well underway. With the exception of our youngest, who is not old enough to receive the shots yet, my family has all had at least the first jab. I have never been so relieved to get a needle in my arm! We can do this!
We need to do this. So many have lost so much.
I look forward to the day the theaters open. It is very hard to be a theatre artist and a theatre professor and not be able to create live theatre.
Most of all, I look forward to hugging everyone I have had to be distant from for so long. If I see you, and you say you are fully vaccinated, do not be surprised if I give you a bear hug! (I may also burst into tears with relief, so just hand me a tissue!)
