9/25 to my love ones

“If you want to know an artist you need to know how they live and how they love”
-Toliya Smeliansky

I have never met a passionate man about the theater then my history professor, and artistic director of MXT Smeliansky. He stressed to us the importance of telling MXT history as it was. As time has passed in the Russian theater each revolution has changed the face of the MXT or as we learned the MXT has shaped the face of Russia. In our “lecture” hall there is a exhibit with all the picture of great artists of the MXT looking at all of us. It felt like guides almost despite the cliché. It is a living exhibit it changes with the political landscape, “Behind every picture is a problem.” We also had Russian Cinema, to be honest I was exhausted so I didn’t absorb all of it but the women was wonderful.
Our evening to night has been abosorbed in sadness. One of our members lost their college room mate to night. Her pain transferred to all of us with reality of how far we are from home and the love ones we left behind. I love you all very much and I pray you are in good health. Please send prayers and energy my way for my grieving friend.
It is time for bed I will write more tomorrow but this is what on my heart tonight. This program is a blessing and so are all of you.
With all my Love
