American Theatre – January 2014: CONTRARY TO POPULAR BELIEF, PEOPLE DON’T always like new things. Sometimes people don’t even agree whether something really is new or not.
Take the question of “the new” to theatre artists, some of whom have been working in the profession for decades, and the response seems to be contradictory: Theatre is bursting with new technology, the likes of which we are still not clear on how to deploy effectively—and yet there is nothing new about theatre. We tell stories. We put actors on a stage, give them an environment, ensure they can be seen and heard when necessary, and tell the story the best we can.
