We're working on our 2006/2007 Season Brochure here in Tucson, AZ and we wanted to include some quotes. Do you guys have any really good ones from Broadway legends, playwrights, composers about theatre in general. Nothing too specific. Thanks for your help on this.

My favorite one from Oscar Wilde is something like: "I love acting. It is so much more real than life." But that's kind of more about acting...

All the world's a stage. Some of us just have
better seats.

- Unknown
Kind of a good one since it's a brochure and you want them to buy tickets...

The stage is not merely the meeting place of all
the arts, but is also the return of art to life.

- Oscar Wilde
Really like that one.

"theater is life,
film is art,
television is furniture." ~unknown


It's one of the tragic ironies of the theatre that
only one man in it can count on steady work - the
night watchman.
- Tallulah Bankhead


Acting is not a state of being ... but a state of
appearing to be. You can't be eight times a week
without going stark staring mad. You've got to be
in control.
- Noel Coward

I don't possess a lot of self-confidence. I'm an
actor so I simply act confident every time I hit
the stage. I am consumed with the fear of failing.
Reaching deep down and finding confidence has made
all my dreams come true.
- Arsenio Hall
