I go a lot to see young people downtown in little theaters. It's great. If you start somebody's career, it's so exciting.

You go through a process of refinement and getting rid of the excesses of your early youth in terms of your excitement about what theatre can do.

I think every theater in America wants a younger audience... and you can't just hope to have a younger audience, you have to program things that audience is going to connect with.

Theater is still a medium which attracts young writers. You'd think that it would be all over by now, with television and film. But it's not.

I got into theater at an early age.

Personally, I love theater; that's where I started.

Any show that's bringing in a young audience is doing a good thing, because that's the only way that theater will continue to grow. All the other audience members are going to be dead soon!

I did children's theater when I was younger, and then when I was about 14 I started doing theater in New York City.

I came out of school just at the time regional theater was first expanding. All of a sudden, lots of new companies needed actors.

Don't forget the prices are so high in theater; it isn't really where a young person can go on a date and buy two tickets and take someone out anymore.
