War

by Kyle Cadotte, Executive Director of Bricklayers Theatre Company

War.  “We are all at war.” Thats what Mariana, our famous French director says.  The play, the characters, the actors, the company. We are all fighting for something. And boy is she right.

Me and Patrick Goulding were waiting to make a complaint with our bank before rehearsal. And we become the young angry soldier from Scene 4, a scene we will work tonight.  “Where’s that son of a bitch captain that refused my Bonus pay!” Hell yeah, that’s what I’m thinking as I stand outside my personal bankers cubicle!! I’m pumping myself up. I’m gonna go in there and give him something to remember. But like Mother Courage says “you’ve got to learn to eat the shit that you are served.” Patrick and I ate it. And we had to sit down and take it, just like that young soldier does.

So another battle and another day of rehearsal. We’ll find another battle to fight!!! The war goes on and on.

I’m glad that I can be a soldier for our war. If you aren’t fighting for something, what are you doing?!
