Clever, you have inspired me. If I bothered to organize my cupboards and closets I'm pretty sure all the counters and surfaces would be clear. I've got no excuses and the "I don't know where to start" excuse is getting old.
I may not know a lot about theater but I know that I love it.
Another thing, too, if it's a clutter issue, is to eliminate flat surfaces as much as possible - do away with coffee tables, end tables, ottomans, or get really small ones that can't collect as much stuff.
