Book: When the Lights Are Bright Again
Today we are recommending When the Lights Are Bright Again created by Andrew Norlen. This book is a collection of letters from Broadway Industry professionals to themselves regarding the things they have learned about themselves, their industry, and/or the world at large during the pandemic and the resulting Broadway shutdown and their hopes and dreams for Broadway's return . The book also includes beautiful not-to-miss photographs by photographer, Matthew Murphy, of some of the artists whose letters are included in the book. The letters included range from those of better-known Broadway actors like Rob McClure and Ali Stoker to those of lesser-known actors and even include those of some actors just starting out in the business as well as those of other industry professionals like dressers, stage managers, costume designers and more.
The letters vary in focus. Some concentrate on and what they have learned during the pandemic, others focus on how they hope the theater industry will be different when they return, or what they will feel returning to Broadway, and more. Accordingly, the book is divided into different sections which include Joy, Healing, Creativity, Grief, and more. All of the letters are so full of hope that it is palpable. It really gives you an appreciation for the world of Broadway and the artists who inhabit it, and it makes you happy and grateful to be a part of their world even if just as an audience member. With that in mind, in the back of the book, there is even a space for you to share a letter of your own even if just want to share it with yourself.
