"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."

What I assume Shinn means is they treat playwrights like lead actors; they assume you’re making you’re “real” money in Hollywood, so when you “come back” to the stage you’re working just for the love of it, right? And this is basically a self-fulling prophecy, is it not: pay theatre artists (or take a percentage of their pay) as if it were their “second” career and guess what—it won’t be their first career. And the American theatre will be the poorer for it.
