My pride at being a member of the theater community is deep, and we have a chance to reach a lot of people who might feel like there's a place for them. I want theater to be part of the cultural conversation and be on par with all mediums of television in its ability to be relevant.

From Thomas Kail

I think that one of the beautiful things about theatre - and a place like 'Powerhouse' - is that who you are is informing your work. There's actually no separation from that.

From Thomas Kail

I go to each job and open my little briefcase up, and I take out the things that I have or I know. It might be a Swiss army knife, a quart of milk and a ruler. That might be all I can bring to it, but that's what I have.

From Thomas Kail

I want to make 'Broadway' a word that doesn't have pejorative connotation. I don't want 'musical theater' to be a dismissive term. I want it to be something that people can be proud of, that people can say, 'Look at the possibilities.'

From Thomas Kail

Humanity is more important to me than talent... if there's a choice to make, I'll go humanity over talent every time.

From Thomas Kail

One of the greatest compliments anyone could ever give a director is, 'Everybody was in the same show.' That's something I think about constantly.
