Questionnaire

This is the questionnaire for your first post. It's intended to broaden this community’s knowledge about you and to set your ideas and arguments into a context that helps us better understand them. There are certainly no right answers and, further, every question is open to interpretation. (If you notice some familiar questions, I have pulled some from the Proust Questionnaire – which Proust did not write, but answered – and the Pivot Questionnaire reportedly based on Proust's).  If you feel there should be other questions, add them to your answers.

Who are you?

Why are you important?

What theater do you most want to make, see, read about, etc.?
