Artistic Statement

Since the days of the ancient Greeks, theatre has been a force capable of changing the world -- or at least impacting the world of the people who go to see it. I have been involved in theatre for more than thirty years and while changing the world is important to me, so is being happy. I'm happy when I'm involved with theatre, whether writing a play, being in the audience, helping students stage readings of their work, lecturing a class, or quietly reading a play in my living room. Writing plays and teaching theatre, spending time with friends and family seems to me to be an ideal life. I'm living it now and enjoy encouraging others to do the same.
