Make theater live, to as Marsha Norman wrote, “provide a keyhole into some world that nobody has ever seen.” Produce what Hilton Als called “…a refraction of reality, containing feelings and thoughts that are put forth, first, in a primary text, which the actor interprets—an interpretation that the director supports or edits, in an attempt to help build, in a made-up world, an atmosphere of verisimilitude.” But people should laugh while we do that heeding George Bernard Shaw who said “If you want to tell people the truth, you’d better make them laugh …”
