“Our work, our everyday labor, our whole lives are within the scope of our religion. This is what we believe and what we try to practice. Yet the Lord permits a great many things that he never commands ... The Lord never commanded me to dance, yet I have danced ... while the Lord has never commanded me to do it, he has permitted it. I do not know that he ever commanded the boys to go and play at ball, yet he permits it. I am not aware that he ever commanded us to build a theater, but he has permitted it, and I can give the reason why. Recreation and diversion are as necessary to our well-being as the more serious pursuits of life.” - Brigham Young
I am not commanded to love theatre the way I do, but I am permitted to. I am not commanded to rise and fall with the curtains, but I am permitted to. The way I live my life is good, it is not commanded, but my Heavenly Father has permitted me to live a life full of joy. I am happy. I have always loved this life, and am blessed that the things that I love are permitted for me. What a blessing.
My days are full of rehearsals. I live and breathe this play. I get up for it in the morning, and sleep for it at night. And yet, I know that it is for a good and wise purpose. The members of this cast are so wonderful. I learn something from each of them daily. We have such a diverse range of people. I am grateful for all of their dedication. Some of our cast members are parents, and spouses who work, or singles that have jobs while going to school, we even have a member of our cast who isn’t yet old enough to be in high school. We all have busy lives, and could be doing other things, but I am grateful that we have all come together to create something amazing. This has truly blessed my life. Thank you cast and crew of “Pioneer Song”. You are my inspiration!
