Our World Is, Indeed, a Stage

Our office is nothing if not performative. We have one DC-Area poet on staff, an artist, an athlete, and a proud mother of an actor (who sometimes improvises as an end-of-the-semester exam proctor). Therefore, we consider ourselves quite close to a variety of DC performance communities.
Below is an excerpt of Molly Smith's recent article for Theater Washington. In the full article, Smith contends that theater has become even more essential to our world now that so many of us spend our professional and personal lives online. The article is great. So you should click on that link.

As the world becomes noisier, the theater becomes even more essential as it serves as a place for reflection. In the United States of America, arguably the most culturally and racially diverse country in the world, we have, as Mark Twain put it a "loud, raucous, cacophony of voices." Theater is how we make meaning in all the noise, how we make sense of all the voices.
