Now Playing Off-Off Broadway (1071.74 miles to be exact)

Within what distance can you be from Broadway to be considered "off broadway"? While most (if not all) of the off broadway shows I know are within the city boundaries of NYC, I decided to declare that I am "off-off broadway" just to be safe. After all, Columbia, MO does turn out to be 1071.74 miles away from the world's theater capital.

Though technically far removed from the "main stage," I know that I'm never too far from a theater production. Whether performed by third graders with homemade props or professionals with accomplished set designers, it's safe to say that somewhere, someplace in the world, the magic of a theatre is occurring.

Well, that's a broad statement, right? Of course theater is happening somewhere in the world at any given time. That's what makes it so awesome. While there's no way I can ever hope to comment on every theater performance occurring, I do hope to reflect on major happenings in the theater world, as well as to review the productions that I'm able to see.

After all, how often can one person be transported to a world entirely different than her own? I'm making it my goal to find out.
