Our lives are our mythic journeys, and our happy endings are still to be won.

The idea of making audiences feel like they matter, that the theatre matters, and that they're a partner in the event—that's what fuels me as a director. . . I believe it's actually radical to think about the audience.

We do believe this, but that's only part of the point. We also believe that the fugitive slave laws were unjust.
