I went to see a super cool performance tonight. It was called The Encyclopedia Show and it was full of humor and heart. This show is created around randomly opening to a page of an encyclopedia to choose a theme to work off of. There is a band, there are a couple of hosts, and there are a group of performers who each give a monologue. Tonight the topic was Juliette Gordon Low, the founder of the Girl Scouts. The topic itself seemed pretty dull to me. However, the group of talented storytellers really made it work. It was beautiful. There are so many stories to tell, no matter what the subject.
This is the first time I've seen this awesome show, but they have been regularly performing for six years (or something like that). Next month will be the last one ever - Wednesday, May 28th. The subject will be  "The Prairie."
