Happy Children Should Not Try To Be

Today The Influences Of Your Society Pressure You To Be Successful Before Your Time. They Are Pulling You Down. They Have Pulled You Down, You Big, Sweet, Magnificent, Young, Potential Artists. They Have Pulled You Down So Far That You Are On The Verge Of Destruction. Only You Don't Know It Because You Want To Be A Success

Life Beats Down And Crushes The Soul And Art Reminds You That You Have One.

And Characters In Plays Are Almost Never 'truthful' Or 'honest' Or 'real'. What Exactly Do Teachers Even Mean By These Words? A More Useful Question Is: What Is The Story The Actor Was Telling In Their Work? An Actor Is Always Telling A Story. We All Are Telling Stories, All The Time. Story: That Is What It Is All About.

The Only Excuse For Not Coming To A Class Or A Performance Is Death.
