seriously

"I know someone who speaks, in his pathetic, ignorant, yet smug and condescending fashion, as if serious were the highest of accolades rather than the most banal of modifiers. As if to call academic work serious were to qualify it in some discernible fashion. He is a stupid man, a parasite only capable of feeding off the conversation with others without offering anything himself.

Even the title Greystone Shorts 4 Evening A (or is it B) makes existential absurdity. Sartre & Ionesco, two French playwrights of now classic stature, challenge student directors to sharpen their understanding of theater history, translate dramatic style into living action and live the question of theatrical conventions in a very practical way. The evening depends on confronting the rejections which Sartre so brilliantly outlines in his 1966 lecture, Myth & Reality in Theater . It is much more than letting a play speak for itself ... it may not make a sound ... it needs to be heard ... Each production must ask the vital question which measures all. Why theater? The modern classics may be anachronisms of quaint, old monuments and yet the inner unity of a comp

"As long as the outside does not put a value on you it remains outside but when it does put a value on you then it gets inside or rather if the outside puts a value on you then all your inside gets to be outside."
