"Positive action means that the actor/character focuses on the success of the enterprise rather than allowing the fear of failure to enter the mind or consciousness – every character plays to win at every moment....

The inclination of creativity – both on stage and in life – is to celebrate and to praise life and existence.....

With positive action, the characters hang on not only to the hope but also to the belief that they will get what they want. When they fail to achieve their goals, the effect will be psychologically and emotionally devastating; when they achieve their goals, the effect will be miraculous, exhilarating, and transporting."

My hope is that the company’s success navigating these several worlds can be an example that other large theaters can follow when working with ensembles and vice-versa. As I said at the awards ceremony, somewhere in every city there are a bunch of ambitious, scrappy dorks who could use a hand. If you have a theater space and it is part of a more mainstream establishment in that town, offering those dorky scrappy kids some space, a little bit of dough, some outreach, will make both your lives richer. You’ll have new audiences and new ideas about the form; they’ll have a chance to fall down a little bit without breaking the bank, pick themselves up again, and make the work sing its own song.
