		<description><![CDATA[I've talked before about adaptations and maintaining the integrity of the work, and there are certain movies or adaptations that I won't see because I enjoyed the original too much to risk being disappointed by an adaptation that falls short.  If the story is misinterpreted or characters don't look the way I think they should or the overarching themes are viewed differently than I've always seen them (not to mention the disturbing propensity for adaptations to change the endings of the original work), it can turn the experience of a beloved story into a bittersweet (perhaps more bitter than sweet) shadow of what it should be.]]></description>

I sang in the kids&#8217; choir (which my mom directed), got my first speaking parts in musicals, and did special music on Sunday mornings, all starting from the time I was 5 years old.  My first full-length script was produced there; I started directing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few things that are disappointing me (just a little bit) right now:
Standing Ovations
We saw two shows this weekend.  One of them deserved a standing ovation.  The other was okay, but not brilliant.  However, they both received ovations.
It&#8217;s sad that the power of a standing ovation has been lost — it&#8217;s expected, [...]]]></description>

I started reading when I was about 3, and I&#8217;ve never looked back, and while reading was my first love (okay, second; I&#8217;m pretty sure that music was first), I have a distinct love for other, non-literary art forms.  Of course I do. [...]]]></description>

In other words, quite [...]]]></description>

I made the tough decision to step back from a project that I&#8217;ve been involved with &#8212; a project incorporates many departments, most of which are continually reaching new levels of professionalism and quality &#8212; because the element of it that I&#8217;ve been a part of is the lowest quality, the [...]]]></description>
