Sports! Now there are a group of people who know how to inspire! Pat O’Brien as Knute Rockne in Knute Rockne-All American Susan Sarandon’s Annie Savoy in Bull Durham and my favorite-Keanu Reeves’ speech in the huddle as The Replacements quarterback Shane Falco. Like maybe some day you can be in Wiki-Quotes! Not being known for my original ideas, I have to admit I had to do some research (aka Google) on “inspirational quotes of retiring community theatre directors.” I found profound quotes from professional artistic directors, stories of theatre director scandals, and not too far down the list were gift ideas for retirees. You try not to be forgotten for the things you accomplished, but it’s even cooler if they remember what you said. It seems appropriate that someone like me come up with an inspirational thought at a time like this. Do not worry, the thoughts expressed will be no more or less coherent than those of the past, so all you fact-checkers and grammar-checkers, relax, take a rest. This will be my first blog (Is that still a word?) as the retiring Executive Director of Quincy Community Theatre. I might say something like, “Isn’t politics strange? but, Hey! don’t forget to buy tickets to Spamalot!” In my defense, I always tried to insert a reminder of what was coming up next on the QCT stage, though those ideas did not always flow smoothly. Looking back I have to admit that some of these issues were mostly in my head and had little to do with what was going on in the world, or at the theatre for that matter. For the past four years I have posted a thought or two on the theatre’s webpage that dealt with relevant issues going on at the time.
