“Industrial production, the flow of resources in the economy, the exertion of military effort in a war theater-all are complexes of numerous interrelated activities. Differences may exist in the goals to be achieved, the particular processes involved, and the magnitude of effort. Nevertheless, it is possible to abstract the underlying essential similarities in the management of these seemingly disparate systems.” MayWarProcessGoalDifferencesEffortEconomyMilitaryParticularInvolvedActivityEssentialsResourcesFlowTheaterManagementComplexesProductionsAbstractNeverthelessSimilarityMagnitudeExertion Book:Linear Programming and Extensions Source: Linear Programming and Extensions
“[To actors on opening night:] You have had good equipment to work with. You've had a theater with everything you needed, and you are involved with the play; but all the way through you have been handicapped. One essential has been denied you. Tonight the audience is there; now they are sitting out front; you have everything you need.” WayNeedsHas BeensPlayNightActorsAudienceFrontsNeededInvolvedEssentialsSittingTheaterOpeningTonightDeniedEquipmentHandicappedOpening Night Author:Hallie Flanagan
“I was sort of trained in drama. I went to theater school. I started on the stage. Comedy is absolutely an essential part of what we do as actors. But I think in the grand scheme of things, comedy was born from tragedy. First there was tragedy and then there were the comedies.” ThinkingFirstsSchoolActorsBornComedyStageDramaEssentialsTragedyTheaterSchemes Author:Alex O'Loughlin

“In the theater, actors are the essential element of the work. In a film, it's a real collaboration - not that theater isn't, because it is - but it's a collaboration to such an extent that you can give a performance in film that sometimes you look at and you go, "Well, that's not the performance I was trying to give at all."” GivingTryingWellsLooksRealSometimesFilmActorsEssentialsElementsPerformancesTheaterCollaboration Author:Karen Allen
