Live Theater

Famous quotes containing the words live and/or theater:

    Let us lie down once more by the breathing side
    Of Ocean, where our live forefathers sleep
    As if the Known Sea still were a month wide—
    Atlantis howls but is no longer steep!
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    The theater is a baffling business, and a shockingly wasteful one when you consider that people who have proven their worth, who have appeared in or been responsible for successful plays, who have given outstanding performances, can still, in the full tide of their energy, be forced, through lack of opportunity, to sit idle season after season, their enthusiasm, their morale, their very talent dwindling to slow gray death. Of finances we will not even speak; it is too sad a tale.
    Ilka Chase (1905–1978)
