“Once you do a piece on the stage, you become that poem or you become that piece. That's really who you are. I think that's why some artists have stage names, you know? I don't have a stage name, it's pretty much just me.” ThinkingKnowsArtistActorsNamesActingPiecesStageWho You AreTheatre Author:Clinton D. Powell
“Most of the people dishing out judgment have no working experience of the theatre, have not written a professional play, a sketch, or even a joke; have never worked in a theatre, taken an acting class, or published any extended piece of work.

“When people ask me if musical theatre should be taught in music colleges, I reply that there is no need. All anyone needs to study is the second act of La Boheme because it is the most tightly constructed piece of musical theatre that there is. It is practically director-proof: you can't stage it badly because it just works too well. If you can write La Boheme, you can write anything. I would also recommend studying Britten's Peter Grimes.” PeopleIfsNeedsShouldWritingWellsAsksStudyPiecesStageTaughtCollegeDirectorsMusicalTheatreProofAsk MePeterMusical TheatreGrime Author:Andrew Lloyd Webber
