I love crowded theaters. The other day I went to see a film on a rainy and cold afternoon. I thought for sure the inclement weather would discourage moviegoers.
When I arrived at the theater I was pleasantly surprised to discover scores of people waiting for the same film I planned to see. There wasn't an empty seat in the house and by the film's conclusion nobody wanted to leave. "They can't end it that way," I heard a gentlemen whisper a few rows behind me.
Crowded theaters are a reminder that storytelling still matters. It's the fabric of the human condition that weaves us all together.
Keep listening, telling, and making them. Our sense of community depends on it.
