“Anybody, Anywhere” in Libre
I can be mean and critical; it’s not my favorite thing about myself, but it’s there. Or I should say, in this case, it was there until I watched Somebody, Somewhere.This show is quiet. It is a romantic walk on the beach. It takes you by the hand and asks you to dance slowly, swaying to and fro gently holding you just like Jason’s favorite cottonwood tree in the park near our house. Choir practice, where the characters in the show meet to play music and sing and just be their whole selves in community with one another, becomes a place you wish was real, and Fred and Joel are the friends you didn’t know you needed. Sam is lovable in a frustrating way, as is Tricia.
