A lot of Broadway has that immigrant narrative of America as a place where you can become something else against all odds.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
'Broadway' is one of the big American words. It's exciting to be given the chance to rattle around in one of the big words.
Broadway, in my opinion, is a microcosm of America. Those challenges that we have in our country, I think we still have those challenges on the Broadway stage. I think there are far too few African-American directors working on Broadway.
Broadway is obviously a dream come true, but audiences everywhere continue to make performing a blast.
Because I'm an American woman, and I write straight plays, it's always been sort of assumed I would never be done on Broadway. But that was never the goal.
Broadway is a very different kind of place. It's kind of like Nashville in that there's a certain amount of people that are involved, and those people are what run it.
Broadway has always been a dream of mine.
American literature has always been immigrant.
But, you see, the theatre is not always art in America.
Broadway is such a diverse community. Everybody knows how I believe, and everyone believes, and it's not a big deal. But in Hollywood, if you talk about politics - especially if you're a Republican - or spirituality, it's just not something people want to hear about.
One of the things I find very little of in America - and certainly not on Broadway - are plays with political attitudes.
