Metamorphosis: Life in Theater and Theater in Life
Theater has been around for thousands of years and its life-changing power has moved and held humans for that long. It’s a special kind of storytelling because it’s never gonna be the same thing twice and it’s inherently communal – the way things are meant to be in this world. Andrew Russell, the Producing Artistic Director of the Tony Award-winning Intiman Theatre, says that as we experience “wrongness” in real-time, we begin our healing at the same time that it begins for the characters onstage. He calls this a “public moment–” when you are being pulled into the same moment as many others and experiencing it together.
