2AMt: "I’ve been fortunate enough to have earned a few commissions myself, and it won’t surprise anyone to learn that in all of those instances, the commissions have come from theater companies. The companies in question needed plays to produce; they thought their audiences might like the plays an artist like me would write, so they asked me to write some. That’s their job, after all, at some base level: to find artists and pay them to make art that they think their audience members will pay them, in turn, to see."
