Theater Quotes

At the core of what I’m doing is a belief in the audience, a belief that populism doesn’t mean dumbing down theater, but rather giving the audience a voice and a role in experiencing theater Picture Quote #1

When I first got out of school, I went on a children’s theater tour, and I went around the country a little bit that fall, and it was the first time I went to Chicago. We spend a couple of days in Chicago, and I was really struck viscerally by the city Picture Quote #1

For me, it was a lot of hard work doing theater eight nights a week around the country, going from job to job Picture Quote #1

Everyone town of 100,000 in the United States should have a Classical Theater supported by the town, or the state of the county, or the Federal Government, as they have in every civilized country Picture Quote #1

I’m constantly involved in theater, looking at theater, trying to do work in theater, support theater. And that’s kind of my creative passion Picture Quote #1

Theater criticism should be visceral, at least on some level, an articulation of that fierceness and passion. I usually do a fair amount of research before I see a show - on the history of previous productions (if it’s a revival) and the creative team Picture Quote #1

What I like about theater is its team work. Theater is also all-time creativity Picture Quote #1

I want people to leave the theater with a greater understanding of the rich cultural heritage of Pakistan. Song of Lahore moves beyond headlines and stereotypes and shows that a vast majority of Pakistanis are not perpetrators of religious violence - they are victims of it. The beautiful cultural heritage of the region belies its image in the West as monolithically religious, intolerant, and violent Picture Quote #1

I don’t think actors are to blame for poor writing. The culture changes first, and the theater follows it. In the case of the movies, it’s the same thing Picture Quote #1

L.A. is so focused on TV and film that theater is kind of an arcane sport. People look at you like you’re doing something cute Picture Quote #1

I love martial-arts movies. I grew up with my dad watching kung-fu theater every Sunday. So it was kind of my thing Picture Quote #1

In theater and dance, I was trying to win someone’s approval, trying to get in, trying to be good. It felt out of my control, whereas music suddenly felt like this free expression. It was fun Picture Quote #1

I actually got started in acting when I was in pre-school. I was really into dance and performing, so my mom had me in dance classes, and then I got involved in a local theater company Picture Quote #1

I’m the youngest of five kids, and I wanted attention. And in Santa Barbara, there was lots of theater going on, so for that area, it was a little bit like playing Little League baseball. There were dance classes, theater classes, and I just loved it Picture Quote #1

Secretly, I’m in awe of Broadway performers. I would love to perform at that level. I love the exchange with the audience. I love being able to sing and dance to express your emotions and the community and friendships that are formed when working on a theater piece Picture Quote #1

Simplify, slow down, be kind. And don’t forget to have art in your life - music, paintings, theater, dance, and sunsets Picture Quote #1

Dance was always part of my life because I was a dancer and my mother was a dancer, and I love the theater Picture Quote #1

I would love to do a live show with dancers and fashion and scenic elements - definitely bring my love of the theater to a concert-style performance Picture Quote #1

Martha Graham, along with George Balanchine, is one of the two commanding figures in 20th-century American dance. For those much younger than I am, her genius as a performer will have to be taken on faith - and on the always-suspect evidence of film. What will last, if things go well, is her genius as a choreographer, as a woman of the theater Picture Quote #1

Going to the theater or having the honor of performing in theater reminds you of your humanity in a very different way. It’s a real release and an incredible challenge. But the stage is a dangerous place. You gotta be trained. Plus, crowds like when things go wrong. I think that’s part of the thrill. Anything can happen Picture Quote #1

The first movie I can remember seeing in the theater was ‘Return of the Jedi.’ I can remember seeing Darth Vader’s helmet come off. The shock of that moment Picture Quote #1

When I got out of undergrad, I had a degree in theater and telecommunications. My first job, I was a news reporter for the local stories for NPR. Then I was a country-western DJ. I did data entry for a yearbook company. In my mid-20s I went back to grad school at NYU, and I specialized in playwriting Picture Quote #1

My deep dark secret is that I was a nerd in school. I liked the theater. I liked to study. I wasn’t very good at sports Picture Quote #1

I really do love the theater and as you get deeper into your career, it gets harder to carve out the time to do theater Picture Quote #1

The heart of the theater is the play itself, how it dramatizes life to make it meaningful entertainment. To achieve depth and universality, the playwright must subject himself to intense critique, to know human character and behavior, and finally to construct art from the most mundane of human experience Picture Quote #1

I enjoyed acting growing up; I did musical theater. I had a secret desire to be a television and movie actress, but it wasn’t something I admitted to myself that I wanted to do, I guess Picture Quote #1

I love the theater community and theater life, and would love to figure out the distinctive differences between Broadway and the West End Picture Quote #1

I sing in many different colors and, hopefully, they add up to a great performance that, after you leave the theater, makes you feel like I’ve really shared something of myself Picture Quote #1

I don’t any longer make any quality judgement between theater and cinema. They are different experiences for the audience, and they also are for the actors - although they have a lot in common Picture Quote #1

I love to listen to lots of different genres of music, but mostly movie soundtracks and music theater Picture Quote #1
