ANYWAY. Our family activity got me thinking about first performances: what shows, performances, and exhibits did you get to experience as a young child, and what impression did they make on you??

Commencing hijacking sequence……
This year, instead of buying people a bunch of crap they don’t want, I decided to buy myself something. So, I bought myself a google nexus 7 tablet AND IT’S AWESOME. I am appreciating this 1000000x more than anyone ever appreciated anything I bought for them. My friend taught me how to torrent books from the internet so I decided I needed an e-reader. This thing…..it has changed my life. I may never need social interaction again. I can just sit in my blanket fort and steal books from the internet. Next step in my plan: acquire cats, lots and lots of cats.
The first movie I remember seeing in the theater was Star Wars. I was born a year after it came out, but my grandparents had a small-town movie theater and I saw it there when I was 3 or 4. I’m still a huge Star Wars geek.
I don’t think I saw a play until the summer before I started high school when I went to the melodrama at the civic theater. I wound up practically living there for the next four years and went on to major in theater in college, which is what eventually got me to NYC.
I loved The Nutcracker when I was a kid. I think my mom got sick of taking me to see it!
I remember seeing the Nutcracker and Peter Pan when I was very young. I mostly remember crying because Tinkerbell was dead and then getting laughed at by my fellow classmates (this occurred on a school field trip).
I was a sensitive soul back then.
