Theater Style Quotes

I come from 'black-box' theater, where basically, you make your own adventure out of nothing.

Personally, I don't want to do theater that's very stylish, when it's just stories on stage that are basically the same as TV or film.

I actually think film and TV are sort of the same thing now. To me they're all motion pictures. There's a camera, a script, other actors and a director. Doing a sitcom is a little different. It's kind of a hybrid, half movie, half play, presented in a proscenium fashion - the camera's on one side of the line, the set on the other, the audience sitting behind the cameras.

What I do is a little bigger than traditional country. I've been belting all my life, so I fit right in with the musical-theater style.
