“Audiences respond to, are touched by yarns spun around men and women who act in response to their humanity. And when touched, the audience will leave the theater anxious to share their experiences with others. The yearning, thrilling, healing—whatever it is—that we bring to a boil within their hungry soul makes people proud of their humanity. Give them pictures that remind them that they are made of better stuff than what they see on the streets, in our newscasts, and populating our government. Picking pictures is plucking heartstrings. My heart leaps up when I am told a story of triumph of the human spirit. I assure you that I am not alone.
