Another good KLT day

Tuesday marked another pretty good day for KLT activities. It started with a meeting in the morning that dangled some realistic hope, and ended with a meeting and after-meeting that did the same.

In the morning, the topic was creating a permanent home for KLT, a subject that has been discussed and dangled for over 30 years since the first days when rehearsals were in an abandoned service station and plays were patched-together cardboard sets and whatever lights could be borrowed. KLT has come a long way since then, but while it seems impossible to some, it is my belief that a theater could happen, and maybe even sooner than we might have thought. More on that topic later!

In the evening, the monthly meeting of the newly-expanded play reading committee proved that there are a variety of good minds interested in finding and using the best plays that fit within KLT's definition of their audience. Even in the Triad, there are a lot of theater groups around selecting and presenting plays, and they mostly have and define a niche for themselves. I think we're wise to stay in the vicinity of that niche for the time being. There may come a day when we can afford and dare to undertake something that we might consider "edgy," but the income and the expenses are still a little too close to each other to get too borderline at this moment. Later ....

Nevertheless, a good gathering and, I think, a good cross-representation of the types of persons who make up a KLT audience. All for the best.
