The third concert in the series of six went down in the OtB wood shop on Christmas Eve at 11pm. Thanks to everyone who attended and made this a most excellent holiday experience. Photos by Chelsea Williams and Bruce Clayton Tom. Scroll down for piece sources.

People throw the word “transcendent” around pretty lightly these days but Now I'm Fine by Ahamefule J. Oluo is specifically and exactly that. I don't mean that the show is very good, although it is, or that it's beautiful, which you can't deny, or that he finds comedy in the low places of life, which he does swimmingly. I mean that the show itself – and particularly the closing musical number – is a highly focused act of transcending a traumatic event. I don't necessarily think he did it on purpose. But that's precisely what he did.

If there is one thing I want from a piece of performance it’s the feeling that what I just saw could never be done again. I want to walk out and think  “I know what I saw will be done again tomorrow night and then again the next night and again all weekend, maybe all month. But no one else can possibly see what I just saw.” Its not that my emotions or reactions are so complex it’s that the performance was so singular, so special that it doesn't seem like it could be repeated.
