Thanks for the add RTT--It's a great mission you have. It hearkens back to what my favorite theatre hero, Hallie Flanagan, said when she launched the Federal Theatre Program back in the 1930s:
"The movies, in their kaleidoscopic speed and juxtaposition of external objects and internal emotions are seeking to find visible and audible expression for the tempo and the psychology of our time. The stage too must experiment with ideas, with the psychological relationship of men and women, with speech and rhythm forms, with dance and movement, with color and light-or it must and should become a museum product." (Arena, 45-46)

It was true then, and even more so now.
Best!
