Re: RAT Re: From Philadelphia

I really appreciate the notes from respondents who have performances 
occurring. On Friday I reopen my solo comedy for six weeks. Though this 90 
minute show is funny, it also addresses some very serious topics like family 
violence. I wonder what people's response will be to this right now. There 
are some scenes that are difficult to view in the best of times. 

I feel comforted by the note from Mara. If performing my show will bring 
people out of isolation and give them a place to gather and express their 
concerns, then I feel moved to go ahead. Frankly, I think it'll be helpful 
for me too. When I'm not in front of people, I tend to isolate myself. There 
are days I don't go outside. 

It's good to hear the many caring voices of the people on this list. 

Warmly,
Bruce Pachtman
