The play was soup... the audience... art

I like to think of them out there in the dark, watching us. Sometimes we'll do something and they'll laugh. Sometimes we'll do something and they'll cry. And maybe one day we'll do something so magnificent, everyone in the universe will get goose bumps. -The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe by Jane Wagner

I just wanted to say that that "audience was art" line is one of my favorite lines-- EVER! I thought that whole show was brilliant, but that line is beyond brilliant.

Yeah, it's one of my favourite plays. I was lucky enough to see Lily Tomlin perform it in Toronto a few years ago. My seat was far away in the balcony, but at intermission my sister and I spied some empty seats in the second row and snuck down to nab them. It was wonderful. It's such a funny, thoughtful, inspiring show. I love it.
