[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] Next Fri, Feb 27: Dharma through theater

Hello dharma friends,

Wishing you well as can be this warmish Saturday before the rain and snow. It's always a pleasure to study dharma and practice together. As you may have heard me say before, I came to the dharma through theater - and now through my theater-making comes the dharma. 

In that vein, it's my pleasure to invite you to my upcoming show, Sheldon Feldman Sings the Songs They Told Me Not to Sing, at 
the Atlas Performing Arts Center next Friday, Feb 27 at 7pm. 
It's a one-man cabaret in which Sheldon, a musical theater loving (but tone-challenged) 78 year-old from Brooklyn, tells his story of growing up queer, marrying in the closet and having a kid, and then finally coming out later in life. Sheldon's story - like so much of the Buddha dharma - is a reminder that this life is a precious gift to make the most of. 

More info and tickets here! Use the code FriendOfShel for 20% off, or there will also be $15 rush tickets available day-of. 

And if you're looking for more arts to heal the soul, the Atlas Intersections Festival, which is hosting Sheldon, has a TON of dance, theater, cabaret and more happening through March 15. Check out all the offerings here. 

Thank you everyone for your continued dedication to practice and this community. Let's continue to show up for one another; the load is easier to carry together.

With metta,
Shawn
