So inspired by my time at the Shakespeare Theater Conference in Cincinnati.
Imagination is at the center of my work.
What first thrilled me about theater were imaginative "what if" plays. What if everybody started turning into rhinoceroses? What if a woman had to spend her existence buried up to the waist?
Imagination is what leads to empathy, to problem solving, and to personal transformation.
It has been undervalued in our culture and the theater should be its sanctuary.
