NYTimes.com: On a bulletin board in her tiny, tidy Upper East Side apartment, Beth Morrison has displayed a quotation by the librettist and theatrical producer Oscar Hammerstein II since she first moved to New York City in 2005. Printed on a rumpled, coffee-stained scrap of paper, the note enumerates qualities that in Hammerstein’s view characterize the mysterious job of a theater producer: “a hopeful innocent in fair weather, a stern pilot in stormy weather, a mathematician who prefers to ignore the laws of mathematics and trust intuition, a realist, a practical dreamer, a sophisticated gambler, a stage-struck child.”
