Hey, it's big, so you sort of understand a piece of it
0:03
What it is for me right now tonight in that moment is so many people who have been a part of this theater in the audience and on stage and backstage
0:11
feel connected to this moment. There is pride. There is joy. And that's why we do theater. It is to connect
0:20
It is to somehow in that ineffable way, create connections among human beings
0:24
so that we are together, that we can move forward. Every cliche you can matter is coming out of my mouth right now
0:31
But so to have a moment where everyone's doing this because of that award, this award, it's incredible
0:38
It means that, like Mike said, a whole bunch of people in the community can know that they are excellent
0:42
and know that they have been, they've supported and grown and made a theater. We represent a theater that would not exist if it was not for that audience and for that city and that community
0:50
And so today they get to see themselves reflected on the stage in this award, and they can feel that pride as well
0:56
So I don know It overwhelming a little bit now Now that we go through the process it like this is real And I just want to get home and celebrate with that community too because this is theirs So I was going to ask you where will this live
1:09
The Muni is gigantic. So where will this live? Yeah. We have a rolling case
1:16
It's going to go in a cage. The tea cart in Harry Potter
1:19
We'll just sort of walk it down the hall. I have no idea. We'll figure it out. And anywhere that everyone can see it and feel a part of it
1:25
thankfully we opened the season in 7.9 days whatever it is, what time is it
1:30
so it's a chance to welcome everybody in so it will be at the theater, it will be a place
1:33
where anybody can come by, see it, take a photo just cherish the moment
1:37
they did this, they did this what a way to celebrate your new season with a Tony Award
1:42
yeah, yeah next summer we're going to get the show open, we're going to do that
1:47
you know I am speechless it's truly
