Theater is, of course, a reflection of life. Maybe we have to improve life before we can hope to improve theater.

I think theater is a core need of a community.

I think theater communities in cities can form really strong foundations.

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.

I think that theater is a unique way to communicate with people as they gather together with other people they may not even know. It creates a sense of shared community for the time of the performance that hopefully carries over into other aspects of the audience's life because they have shared this experience together.

It's great to be in a film that's able to have people really want to become socially conscious, to walk out of the theatre and want to do something.

I don't think theatre has changed; it's society that has changed.

Films can't change the society; they can simply open the space for the discussion which can lead to social change and can start new forms of social activism.

But I think theatre in a repressive society is an immensely exciting event and theatre in a luxurious old, affluent old society like ours is an entertaining event.
