I enter a theatre with great anticipation. Waiting for the shift in my soul, waiting for that moment of “Ah-h! So this is what life is about.” These moments make it possible for me to walk out into the world with some newfound understanding. A bit shaken from something. I believe theatre should do nothing less. Pull us in and shake us up. Do something to us. Grab us. Give us a silent moment, a connection, a passion on stage that demands our involvement. Make it impossible for us to fall asleep, to think about desert at home that waits for us, or the television shows we are missing. Theatre should take us somewhere. It should move us. That is, after all, why I am a part of this theatre thing. I want to be a part of those moments of movement. A theatre is one of the last places on the planet where we expect people to turn off their cell phones, quiet down, and engage their minds and bodies and imaginations. To be still in order to be moved. This is what I love most about theatre... the possibility to create movement in a room. That’s why I “do” theatre. Write plays. That is what I hope for.....
