The biggest audience for Off Broadway is mostly coming in on a train - either Upper East Siders or Metro-North. I go to the theater, and everyone around me is over 50. How interested will they be in my kind of work?
When I work in the theater, you know you'll get this almost devotional, religious experience where you're breaking bread with everyone every day.
Some of the greatest works of theater, from Chekov's work to modern playwrights', consist of just a few people in a room with no one leaving.
I think, for me, when I direct my own work it's just an extension of the authorship.
