Chris Gordon wrote (paraphrasing) that in the Catholic faith a sincere
Act of contrition can take the place of final confession. I must ask,
however, how many men, having not been slain instantly, dying on a
battlefield of gaping, horrific, wounds, have the clarity of mind to
rise beyond their excruciating world of pain to make a full act of
contrition? -Sally Schutz

Two years ago we performed A Midsummer Night's Dream with dual Pucks.
This has, of course, been done before, but it was a stunning effect. The
girls were sisters and dancers. They looked so very similar on stage
that I couldn't tell the difference between them (and I've known them
for since I was six yrs. old) . At the beginning and end they would
stand one behind the other and float their arms giving and octopus-like
effect. Then they would step out from each other and I swear all the air
got sucked out of the theatre it was just such an effective device.
