Words of Wisdom from Playwright Lee Blessing
(A Walk in the Woods, nominated for a Tony Award and the Pulitzer Prize): People are conditioned more and more to look at any entertainment for its surface values, not at the potential to make people question their values. We're far less content-driven than we used to be. We need to use forms of entertainment, particularly theater, as a means to look at ourselves. |
