The last four days at the Kabul Theater Festival has been heady, thrilling, hopeful,  and heartful.  I was overjoyed to meet most of the theater artists that I worked with last year.  They were presenting their work at the festival (one of them won best scenery and costumes!) and they all looked radiant and full of life.  Moreover, I met so many new, creative people working in MANY different provinces of Afghanistan and in different forms of theater.
