Plays are so much more special if they've never ever had a production, but I think you can really work on a play and make it better with each production.

I tried to start a theatre in LA and failed miserably, but I was probably not meant to raise money.

It's called Sisters of the Winter Madrigal. It was interesting for me to see it done after so many years; because I wrote it and I didn't realize what a rage I was in.

I'm very into the first production of the show.

My first few plays took place in the South and even The Lucky Spot was in the thirties but in Louisiana.

That was always my inclination, to start on a new play before the other one gets done, because at least you'll have something to go back to if that play gets trashed.

The most glorious thing about working in the collaborative art is when you have somebody like Susan Kingsley or Kathy Bates who are better than your play.
