Tonight was the last night of the Hilo Community Players production of Twelfth Night or What You Will. There were 11 preformances in all. It was the best play I have ever seen. I am happy to have been a part of it. Theater is one of the healing arts.

One of the things I like about it is the smiles I see in the audience. I saw the magic on some young children's faces tonight as they caught the joy of theater for perhaps their first time.

We had a capacity crowd for both of the last preformances. People were jovial and seemed truly glad to be there. Even when it poured rain hardly anyone left, it was just too great of a play. People were buzzing with energy during intermission.

Steve grew in stage presence tremendously this year and all I can say is, look out, to the folks who are used to scoring the lead roles without much trouble. Here comes my tall handsome son the musician and actor. I am so proud of him world!

I can tell you if you got a chance to meet either of my guys you would think I am the luckiest mom in the world.

Peace and group hugs, Joy
