"What I enjoy most about writing together is our abilities to listen and transform our thoughts and ideas into a fully realized book, lyrics, and music." ~ Christian Albright
Meet J.S. Puller and Five New Plays for Your Stage!
Stanislavski got one thing right when, in a possibly apocryphal anecdote, he commented to one of his actors, “We act for children the same way we act for adults—only better.” So this is the part where I say it loud and I say it proud: I am a practitioner of children’s theatre. I believe that children deserve the best of the best, in order to benefit. And I have the audacity to rewrite Stanislovski, making it “We write for children the same way we write for adults—only better.”
