"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."

why not subsidize artists directly with endowments — as the DMA did? (Once again, the Brierleys’ $1 million donation does not do this.) Daisey likes the idea but doesn’t think you can underwrite people — donors don’t like it as much as putting their names on bricks and glass. But the Brierleys put their name on an ensemble. That’s only one or two steps away from, say, the Allison McGeehee Endowed Senior Acting Position or Staff Set Designer or Apprentice Ingenue or Third Character Actor.
