Theatre can be so patronising. So often, it's just proselytising for the theatre.

It's communication - that's what theatre is all about.
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.
Politics with me isn't theater. It's performance art. Sometimes, for its own sake.
Theater can be elusive and poetic, but it doesn't thrive when it doesn't reach an audience.
Theater represents to me this phenomenon in juxtaposition to real life, where there are all these imposed guidelines.
To be in theater you have to be a kind of psychologist, for you're always trying to understand character and motives.
The theatre is the involuntary reflex of the ideas of the crowd.
All I know is that as an audience member, I am less and less inclined to go to the theater. But that has to do with content and also because the venues seem to be actively trying to repel people.
In our own, theatre can be the place where we come together, reaching with and through stories, to who we are and to who we can be.
The primary function of a theater is not to please itself, or even to please its audience. It is to serve talent.
