Travel More!

American Theatre – May 2013: Some time ago, I was in a roomful of theatre leaders discussing a variety of topics when someone posed a pointed question: Why does TCG invest in international work? With so many needs among theatres right here in the U.S., why spend any time traveling to, learning about or reporting on theatre in other countries? Before answering, I asked the group how many were engaged in international work themselves. About 80 percent of the hands went up. I then asked how many were not doing international work and wished they could. The rest of the hands shot up.
