Elyse, Ntozake and Maria
Three Giant Women of theater have passed away in the space of just a few days.
An influential director.
A playwright of African American women and expanded territories, opening her arms to inclusion of multiple communities. (For Black Girls who have Considered Suicide when the Rainbow is Enuf, a Choreopoem)
A playwright of Hispanic women, opening the theater walls to audiences to Fefu and her Friends. Staging was nontraditional, taking people beyond a stage to different areas -seeing scenes in various order.
The world is better for them all.

Love Made Visible
Invisible Magic IS Love.
And "Love made visible" is the deeper mission of the Barter Theater. When farmers couldn't offer money, they could offer things to pay for tickets. And then the actors got fed.
A way of living as close to the bone as you can, and being happy, truly happy, in a circle of friends who are in the same situation.
Much like the Fringe Theater, or all theater.

Mutual Admiration Society
The BEST situations are around Mutual Admiration Societies.
It might not always be equitable, but it is important to come from a place of respect and enjoyment of the other person's talents. Winning an award, one should always be gracious and effusive in thanks.
Winning and maintaining friendships, it is important to determine comfort levels of communication, how to ensure that you've made a secure bond and how to keep it going.
