THIS IS A STORY MY MOM TOLD ME TODAY

Jesus Christ Superstar, Village Theatre
1993
Mom, "I was proud seeing you up there."
"Not trying to brag or anything but I let it be known to the people sitting around me that YOU were my son."
"Playing Jesus"
"You lost twenty pounds to play that role!"
"Thirty," I say
"You were skin and bones. You could see your ribs," she says
"You were on the cross. The Crucifixion and you called out,
"WHO IS MY MOTHER? WHERE IS MY MOTHER?"
"And the ten year old sitting in front of me turns around points and says SHE'S RIGHT HERE!"
