One of the things I love about the theatre is that by going on the journey to discover what makes a character do what he or she does and why, we are led closer to discovering what makes us tick, and for kids this is especially important I think. It's a life lesson we can't teach, all art brings us closer to ourselves, but there is just something about live theatre.. it's special. It is one of the things that sent me off into the wild blue yonder and at the same time saved me from myself.
