Come on get Happy

Recently I have come to the conclusion that I have to be a better actor/person then I have been being recently. Since working in Milwaukee I have continuously complained about the lack of community in the Milwaukee theatre scene. I complained that it was full of cliques and people more concerned with vanity than the work.

I was a hypocrite.

I believe all the while it was me who was the snobby prick. There are always going to be cliques and rivaling groups. In the past I would break through the thin veneer that creates boundaries. I would plunge into any group and bring groups together. Somehow I forgot that and it's been miserable. I feel really bad about the people who I complained about and my inability to see myself for who I am.

I strongly feel that ensemble is an important element in any artistic endeavor involving multiple people but it takes all parts working to achieve synergy and be on one accord. When it does not exist all are to blame.
