It's a Small, Small World

The world in which you live is small. The theater community is even smaller. For some reason, in New York, I happen to run into people I know all the time. Random run-ins. Hapenstance, if you will. Seeing a friend pass by and wave when you're in Starbucks. Running into a co-worker on the street before you begin your shift at Wicked. Passing your roommate when you are on your way home and they are on their way out. Then there are the random actor sightings, where you see Broadway performers walking to and from work, out for a meal, on their way to the gym, or just walking down the street.

One particular person, my dearest friend Aaron, has been the subject of my random run-ins recently. First, on the subway when Ashley and I were traveling back from a dance class. Then, at the Gap while out shopping with Tina. Then, about 30 minutes later at H&M.

I love it! The random run-ins make this huge city seem a bit smaller for a few minutes and makes it just a little bit more bearable at times.
