The Word Theatre Comes From

In Life, As On The Stage, It's Not Who I Am But What I Do That's The Measure Of My Worth And The Secret Of My Success. All The Rest Is Showiness, Arrogance And Conceit.

When An Acting Teacher Tells A Student 'that Wasn't Honest Work' Or 'that Didn't Seem Real,' What Does This Mean? In Life, We Are Rarely 'truthful' Or 'honest' Or 'real'. And Characters In Plays Are Almost Never 'truthful' Or 'honest' Or 'real'. What Exactly Do Teachers Even Mean By These Words? A More Useful Question Is: What Is The Story The Actor Was Telling In Their Work? An Actor Is Always Telling A Story. We All Are Telling Stories, All The Time. Story: That Is What It Is All About.

Your Job As Actors Is To Understand The Size Of What You Say, To Understand What's Beneath The Word.

Be Innocent, Wise And Ninety-five.

The Theatre Is A Spiritual And Social X-ray Of Its Time.
