Because trouble comes in all sizes.
2021 has arrived leaving in its wake a year of terrible loss and sacrifice. A wellspring of hope has replaced despair. A fresh clean slate to create a new start. A blank page to begin writing the next chapter. All the things to build anew. We’ll take it. And I would add the suggestion to move your body.
Off-Broadway’s STOMP has been bringing the noise to thousands of audiences at the Orpheum Theater in New York City since 1994. In fact, that year I took my future wife on a date to see STOMP, one of the hottest tickets in town. Unfortunately, she was dead tired from a combination of travel and hectic work schedule. The result? She inexplicably fell asleep during the middle of the show despite the wall-shaking volume. Nonetheless, I personally loved the performance and promised to take her again in the future when she was not in a state of exhaustion. That fateful day arrived this past Saturday for my family. Prior to the show I wondered if our kids would enjoy it and if my wife, now juggling work and parenthood, would resist napping.
