Im always interested in looking - historically - at how theater can animate history and how all of that can make us engage with our lives in an enriching way.

Creativity is a form of knowledge.

Opera is the ultimate art form. It has singing and music and drama and dance and emotion and story.

I had this epiphany that I like the interaction with people. I wanted to make things happen at a grassroots level.

I grew up with a beautiful gold harp sitting in our living room. My older sister played it.

The musical theater is a glorious and distinctly American innovation in the history of theater.
