I think theater is a core need of a community.

Theater has an incredible capacity to move people to social change, to address issues, to inspire social revolution.

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.

In terms of theater, there's not a more supportive theater community than in New York. It's really kind of a real thrill to go there. I mean, don't forget, I'm a boy from the suburbs of Sydney, so getting to New York is a huge, huge thrill.

Theater can be elusive and poetic, but it doesn't thrive when it doesn't reach an audience.

I'm passionate about music, and I feel that theatre has an extraordinarily musical ability in the way it operates on the audience.

I think theater ought to be theatrical.

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

I love the experience the theater creates for a community of people.
