“I understood why war zones are called 'theaters' because they frame a kind of play acting or, worse, deceit, that can stain a human life forever: the deceit of hate on hearsay - hating an enemy one doesn't know.” KnowsHumansKindWarPlayHateActingEnemyForeverUnderstoodTheaterHuman LifeZoneDeceitStainsWar ZonesHearsay Author:Gretel Ehrlich

“I love film acting - I'm not snobby about it. I don't think that theater acting's a more noble profession. I think they're both very important. I love both.

“I was assigned to a medical unit and was part of a group receiving men returning from theater headed to hospital care, many forever maimed with life-altering wounds. It made a strong impression because wounded men and body bags come back to home districts, not Washington, D.C., and accordingly, there is no more sacred vote than those surrounding war where life hangs in the balance.” MenMadeWarHomeBodyCareStrongForeverGroupsBalanceVoteTheaterSacredMedicalWoundsImpressionBagsHospitalsReceivingWoundedUnitsLife Altering Author:Mark Sanford

“I guess because theater's so ephemeral and it's gone. You make this nightly contract with the audience and you redraw that contract for the next night, whereas film and television, it's forever.

“Being on a film set is like being in tech forever. In theater, when you finally finish rehearsing, you go onstage and you do the lights and the sets and you make the machine of the production work. It takes usually about ten days in the theater, two or three weeks if it's a really big musical. I mean, it's hell on earth. You just sit around forever while they adjust the lights. And every playwright with half a brain runs for the hills when tech starts because it's so boring, and you don't want to talk to the director because the director is running this giant machine.” IfsWantMeanTwoBigsLightRunningEarthFilmThreeBrainHalfHellForeverWeekDirectorsTenMachinesTheaterMusicalProductionsBoringHillsGiantsWorking ItPlaywrightHell On EarthFilm SetRehearsingSo Boring Author:Tony Kushner
