We were performing Moliere's play, The Miser, at College of the Mainland Arena Theatre, in Texas City, Texas, and a little girl, probably 4 or 5 years old, was sitting with her parents in the front row. She was fascinated by the characters and the costumes and was totally absorbed in the action of the play. We were in the scene where Harpigon, the miser, rushes into the garden shouting about his stolen money chest. His valet, La Fleche, is onstage, but hiding, because La Fleche has the chest and hears Harpigon coming. When Harpigon, in his long speech, shouts the lines "Where is he? Where does he hide himself?", the little girl jumps up and points at the hiding La Fleche and shouts "There he is! There he is!" Now THAT was a moment.Submitted
