Why Live Theater?

"The foundation of theater is a live, human experience, which is different from any other form of art that I know of. Painting, writing, music happen in a mostly interpretive way, which is to say that somebody sits down and writes something and then somebody else interprets it, often in front of a camera. Live theater, where real human beings are standing in front of real human behings, is about the fact that we have all set aside this hour; the sharing goes in both directions." -Daniel Stein

Mission Statement
