All this thing that L.A. doesn't have any love for the theater isn't true.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Let's just say that the theater is not for the faint of heart.
L.A. is so focused on TV and film that theater is kind of an arcane sport. People look at you like you're doing something cute.
Theater has to resonate in your heart in a way that movies don't.
I don't love the theatre. I'm just not one of them.
The truth is I love musical theater and always have.
There's such a work ethic involved in theatre that you can't learn in L.A.
I don't want the kind of theater that I love and grew up seeing to die out.
Theatre is liberating because it only works if it's truthful - that's what it requires. That's not true of film: the camera does lie.
The trick about the theater is at the end of the day you cannot take any of it personally.
There isn't really a theatre culture in L.A., which is odd when there are so many brilliant actors there.
