Our Thoughts on Theatre

Thomas King ("TeKay")

(producer and chorus, "Tennessee"; ensemble, "sprung!")
 

Theatre is an intellectual divergence and an artistic enlightenment for me. No where else in the arts do I see, feel, understand, or create life-changing experiences than I do when I'm participating in the theatre.

Theatre has become my bloodline. I've often said that I believe that we are always onstage creating performances in our everyday lives and playing characters for others around us to interact and engage in some sort of communal living. I can't think of anything that I do better, that makes people happier, that makes me happier than when I'm working on a theatre performance. Theatre is the Alpha and the Omega.

I know that somehow I will be doing theatre for the rest of my life. You can count on it.
 

sub-culture
one foot forward step

bracing weight against massive

hurricane force winds

 one hand upward climb

digging self out from beneath 

guttural trash heaps

one mind backwards shut

closing eyes experience

death by prejudice
