Why we all do theatre

I saw this post on Facebook and asked Ron Darling (the person who posted it on Facebook) if I could share it with everyone. He said yes. You can click on the picture to see it bigger.

If you can't read the text, it says:

It was generally agreed by all that the show was "kind of rough" (tech wise). But after the show we learned that there was a 5 year old autistic child in the house. He had never spoken. But as the lights went down, he began to talk. In full sentences. He called the teacher by name. She had no idea he even knew her name. He was engaged in the show - at one point commenting to the teacher that if there is a dragon then there will be fire. And there was fire. He talked all throughout the show. When the lights came back up - he quit talking and returned to his world. So, yes, I could list all the little things that wrong today but that is not what this show is about. And that little boy certainly didn't see those things as he sat talking in the dark theatre watching Harold and his Purple Crayon.

Here is a link to the original post on Facebook.
