Theatre has the power to change minds and so has the power to change the world. I think a good play should take you somewhere new physically, emotionally and intellectually. I love to travel and, having lived overseas for many years, think it is important to write about different cultures. Americans are isolated and insulated and I try to show them other cultures and ways of thinking. To put human faces and human stories to things/problems/conflicts that we usually only see one side of in the media. I try to open minds with my work and do it with a sense of humor. We, as Americans in the coming years, will need open minds and a sense of humor to get through.
