Creative Culture

West Side/Elk City

Acting on a small stage is an artistic environment devoutly to be wished.  There’s no faking when the audience is 6 feet away; no bluffing your lines or phoning it in and, if the writing is good enough, even the smallest role can transport a viewer to moments greater than themselves.  For a writer, the small stage is heaven, where lines need not be translated over the resonance of the hall, but directly into the resonance of the soul.
