I couldn't agree more. And I would venture to say that this is particularly true for actors of color who have even fewer opportunities to audition for other peoples' projects. I extend an invitation to all my fellow Workshop Company members to come see my first solo show, SPEAK UP CONNIE, running Feb 5, 7, 8, 12 & 15 at Stage Left Studio. Tix are normally $22, but you can use the code CINDYPAL for $12 tix. http://www.stageleftstudio.net/tour-ticket.php?id=10 And I can speak from experience that there is nothing like creating one's own work to, as you so eloquently stated, "better equip an actor to fulfill his creative role in the entire production process." I feel a stronger sense of empowerment and collaboration in the audition room these days. I appreciate your taking the time to issue this challenge and wish you a terrific run of Ghost!

I had no idea you were a member of the Actors Center Co. ! How are you? I love class with Ron and am so happy to have a place to work out. But you're right, making your own art is where its at; not waiting, not fearing anything, just doing it. Flex the muscle, it gets stronger. So enjoyed reading you. Hoping you are thriving, whatever you are up to. love, Amy Dude!

I cannot claim to have known Earle as well or as long as you. I do share your esteem for him. I am so very appreciative of the time I did have to work with him and to watch and listen to him work with others. I still learn from Earle daily. That continues.
