Emotions spill
over'Milk'
To the Editor:
Last night I saw the second of two evenings of “Ki Theatre Presents Crossroads." The whole evening was superb. "* I want to single out Sharon Wyrrick’s theater piece, “Where’s the Milk?”, partly because she is a county resident and mostly because it touched me as profoundly as any' thing I’ve ever seen. It spoke directly to my sense that life today, in the U.S.A. or the world is often absurd, that laughter is an absolutely ' essential part of sanity, and that grief stalks us all.
At the conclusion last night, a rare moment occurred. The audience collectively paused to grieve for her jrnd her friend, for all the others on . Pan Am 106, for all of our own inexplicable losses, and our sometimes unlimited sense of helplessness.
The applause was held back. The silence was a shining moment, tangible enough to halt one clap in mid■ contact. We all mourned, having just ' laughed earlier. She had showed us Ijoth faces of reality. t The staging and lighting were powerful, bringing her story uncommonly close.
I want to thank Sharon, and Ki llieatre, for bringing us together. ! “Where’s the Milk?” illuminated both the alienation and the love that ‘exists for us all.
