Williamstheatre presents THE CRUCIBLE by Arthur Miller. Directed by Omar Sangare. Once emblematic of political persecution in the 1950s, THE CRUCIBLE is an allegory that resonates wherever sanctimony is used as a weapon of oppression and intolerance. In this canonical American drama set during the seventeenth-century Salem witch trials, Arthur Miller explores human cruelty and the manipulations, accusations, and dishonesty that afflict a paranoid community looking for scapegoats.

This is especially true when it comes to stage combat. And you may want to think twice before you claim it on a resume. This is true even if you took a workshop or two and/or performed fights onstage a handful of times.

While I certainly believe in authorial intent and that a playwright's wishes should be followed, shutting down the discussion their work sparks, seems both petulant and elitist. While it's not a violation of First Amendment Rights, since Mr. Mamet is a private citizen, it doesn't do him any favors in an industry built on sharing ideas and discussion.

While that might seem semantic, the feedback effect is significant. Rather than reject ideas in their entirety, Pixar creates an additive approach to sharing feedback. It actively encourages artists to come up with their next steps based on the leads they receive. The process borrows from the tenets of improv, in which partners keep the sketch alive by "accepting all offers" and mining for comedic wrinkles in each other's ideas. People who operate with "yes, and…" thinking use their words to amplify ideas, not silence them.

I have been teaching properties design and production classes at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee for over two decades. Prior to that, I worked professionally as a properties director, properties artisan and designer when UWM recruited me to start a props training program in the professional training tracks. Students came to the theatre department with a passion for technical theatre having hung lights, built scenery, or run a show in high school or community theatre. However few were familiar with props or had even an inkling a professional properties career was a possibility. Each class of students sifted out a gifted few who excelled in the props area. These students have gone on to have highly successfu

r. Bloom talked about his book, Shakespeare: The Invention of the Human, published by Riverhead Books. The book is about Mr. Bloom's belief that "personality, in our sense, is a Shakespearean invention, and is not only Shakespeare's greatest originality, but also the authentic cause of his perpetual pervasiveness."

So what does this mean for theatre? Well, like I just said, performances, audiences, and things can be at multiple locations, at the same time, sharing a connected experience. Performers and audience can get "connected" with the output systems of spaces and spaces become "sensitive." So that would mean that you're now controlling the theatre lights, or my slideshow, or you're interacting with my body if I'm rigged in whatever way. Performers, audiences, and spaces can influence and manipulate each other, and the input-output system. In the classic theatre-the technician over there is sitting in the dark and is not supposed to be seen. But they're there and they're everywhere. The interesting thing is the whole theatre space is rigged in a very hierarchical way. But the Internet of Things is modular, so the idea is that everybody in the room can potentially become the operator or performer of a given system.

This collision of real-life tragedy and satirical ambition is much discussed at the Times Square headquarters here of Nickelodeon, a unit of Viacom, mostly because a day of trauma for America is also the birthday of a gentle and singularly optimistic character who, over the next 16 years, would prove eminently capable of soaking up at least a least a little bit of the world's ongoing sadness.

Long after the stars take their final bows, production assistants, dressers, marketing directors, designers, physical therapists and house managers keep the Broadway business running. They are among the minds at work behind the bright lights and creative forces driving the industry forward.
