A former student of mine won a directing award in LA this past winter and her acceptance remarks were widely quoted–I love that she said this about directing live theater (and her troupe, Fugitive Kind) in LA: “Theater is a terrible way to make a living but it’s an incredible way to be alive, and I am a better director because of the people I get to be alive with.” I shared that with my son and wanted to shout it from the rooftops!
