  • 1.  WEDNESDAY'S WISDOM FROM EDTA EMERITUS

    Posted 06-15-2022 17:33
     As you move into a hopefully restorative and relaxing summer, I encourage you to do just that! Take care of yourself, fill yourself with family and friends, and I know you will be reading scripts! 
    But when the time comes to start to think about school again, I will leave you with 2 quotes of encouragement that I had on my desk at school:
     
    "Great theatre is about challenging how we think and encouraging us to fantasize about a world we aspire to." – Willem Dafoe 

    "Don't wait for people to tell you who you are. Show them." – Laura Benanti

    Happy summer!
