"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."

I also think that this points out the limited power of non-Artistic and Managing Directors There’s a lot of pressure placed on artists to fix X problem with American Theater, and if it’s not placed on them, it’s placed on Lit Departments. But the buck really does stop somewhere, and that’s with the Artistic and Managing Directors. And I would like as we move forward for people to stop complaining about literary managers, or board members or the development director and put the blame squarely where it belongs. If Artistic and Managing Directors want to change their practices, they will change. These are not democratic institutions we’re talking about here, but think of them as if they are.
