Theater is a public space. It is a spectacular space. It is a gathering place.
From Theresa Rebeck
I do believe that there are monsters out there - and that they are monsters.
I actuall have to defend realism in theatre because I think TV does it badly - so corrupted by layers of bureaucrats who want to leave examination or psychology.
I go to museums. I buy art, even. You should see my house; we don't have any wall space left.
The economics of theater are painful. I still think that the theater community should be looking much more rigorously at how to let the playwright keep the money they make.
I like to write. Prolific is part of who I am.
It's not my responsibility to write plays about the way the world should be.
I write a lot because, if I don't, I start to panic, and I calm down when I write.
Spielberg read the 'Understudy' and decided that was the voice he wanted to write 'Smash.' He wanted a story that had humanity and humor and high-stakes dreams.
I have admiration for people who can do it well - the guys who wrote 'Cheers' and 'Frasier.' They created sort of a blissful comedic universe.
