Prelude To A Kiss

events 1 Minute

Sunday:  Prelude to Kiss at Above the Law theatre. I reallly-really-really liked it! I love Above the Law more than any other storefront theater for its incredible sincerity and the sense of being “in” the show (that’s what all the storefront theaters are good at, but Above the Law is exceptionally good!). The actors were so natural that you would forget to breathe because you did not want to interfere with the life happening before you. We took my mom to that show because she enjoyed it every time we took her before. She would always say that even when she didn’t understand a word, she enjoyed the acting. I didn’t have a second thought, but for some reason, this time, she got really angry that we didn’t tell her what the show was about in advance (we didn’t know). I have an idea why it was different that way, but I am not going to concentrate on that. No matter how others felt, I thought it was amazing:). A beautiful break in the middle of a very loaded weekend!

It is a very thought-provoking play, and I could not believe it was written in 1988 – it sounded so timely!

My name is Henrietta (Hettie) Dombrovskaya. I was born in Saint-Petersburg, Russian (actually, back then – Leningrad, USSR) in 1963, and immigrated to the United States in 1996. I love Saint Petersburg, the city I was born and raised in, and I think it’s one of the most beautiful places in the world. Similarly (but differently) I love Chicago, and can’t imagine myself moving somewhere else in the observable future. I have three children, Igor, Vlad and Anna, all adults living on their own, and one (so far) granddaughter Nadia. I also believe that my children are the best thing that happened in my life. As for my professional life, I am working in the field of Information Technologies. When I was twenty, I’ve declared that the databases are the coolest thing invented and that I want to do them for the rest of my life. Thirty plus years later, I still believe it’s true, and still, believe that the databases are the best. These two statements together imply that I think a person can have it all, and indeed, I think so! Keep reading my journals to find out how I did it.
