The Rhapsody Theatre is non-profit North Texas based arts and poetry organization
for faithful story-telling, with a Christian understanding.
We don't have a large theatre building, but we love to do readings,
at a small home in Frisco, Texas, at no cost to participants.
We have successfully filed our paperwork with the State of Texas,
as a non-profit entity, eligible for a tax exemption from the IRS,
with assigned EIN 92-3696295,
and we have also filed Form1023-EZ with the IRS.
Once, in the afternoon on a Saturday, we rented out The Nack Theater venue,
in Frisco, and there, we read from an adaptation of "The Jeweler's Shop."
We love Zoom readings too, and we hope to engage with artistic communities,
here in North Texas, about our poetry and playscript publishing.
We plan for our playbooks, poetry, and artwork by troupe artists
to remain online, for public study, at no cost, for reading and viewing
and our thoughts about Rhapsodic Acting, Sanford Meisner's Acting Theory,
and about the work of Konstantin Stanislavski.
We welcome all people of diverse backgrounds,
who wish to engage the culture
and let God infuse their work with loving grace.
Feel free to sit and listen, if you would like.
“To all who are passionately dedicated
to the search for new “epiphanies” of beauty so that through their creative work as artists they may offer these as gifts to the world.”

Stephen Hawking’s Childhood
by Sara Kumar
Stephen Hawking had vivid memories of his childhood
Highgate and St. Albans are both north of London,
if I’m not mistaken
Has anyone been?
To England that is?
He wrote in a book about baby galaxies, and it was really a book of essays and memoir writing, and in this
he wrote that he enjoyed working on trains, planes, and board games as a child.
I like to have notes, and then speak about what I remembered from the reading, because I like to think about memory
Stephen’s mother worked in taxes and later became a secretary
His father was a medical doctor, and they went to Oxford
How far is Oxford from Highgate, I wonder?
Stephen loved his cousin Sarah, who also became a medical doctor
His brother Edward was adopted when Stephen was 14 years old
They have a sister Mary
Edward enjoyed sports, and Stephen described Edward
as not being an intellectual
Childhood memories are happy for Stephen it seems to me
St. Albans was the first English martyr, and Hawking wrote about this in his book of essays
And the town Verulamium, which became St. Albans town, was an important town in the Britannia of the
Roman Empire, and so was London
There’s a St. Albans Catholic School in Cambridge, I remember
Stephen studied at Cambridge University, which was founded in 1209
There was a rift between Oxford and Cambridge, and students were killed, and teachers fled to begin a new school at Cambridge, and I pray for safety.
You can be with Cambridge, if you’d like, even if you’re not admitted
Stephen uses the term singularity
Don’t think of a point here, and instead think of an event
that happens in time and is not repeated
Stephen and his colleague Roger Penrose worked awn mathematics that looked at the expanding universe
Picture galaxies awn top of each other, and over time,
these galaxies are expanding outward
For some time, Stephen sees a concept of infinite density
and what he calls a bang that pushes this outward over time
I like to think of a push, instead
So the town of Verulamium was developed during the Iron Age around the year 50 AD
Has anyone been to Chirala in India? It’s by the ocean, and there’s a school there with
something beautiful etched into a wall
I’d like you to think about an infinite density, if you will,
and try to imagine what that might be like
And if you come to childhood, or I’m with a professor in a philosophy of literature class, and his friend,
and I'm not feeling bored, isn’t it?
