Theater is a space where you cross over from everyday life, because there are real people in that moment moving in front of you - you're being invited to believe in a story and cross that bridge.

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.

Theater is where you go to find out something new that you don't know. It goes through somebody's brain and comes out in a comprehensible way that is beautiful, that's really interesting.

A theatre is the most important sort of house in the world because that's where people are shown what they could be if they wanted and what they'd like to be if they dared to and what they really are.

I see myself as not a typical theater person, but a person who uses the theater as a place to meet people and explore ideas.

Theater is a verb before it is a noun, an act before it is a place.

The word theatre comes from the Greeks. It means the seeing place. It is the place people come to see the truth about life and the social situation.

Theater is my temple and my religion and my act of faith. Strangers sit in a room together and believe together.

There are many, many more small theater spaces than there were when I was starting out.

The theatre is the involuntary reflex of the ideas of the crowd.
