My Heart In My Mouth
Finding The Next Words
Why should you read this book? At the top of Act III of my life, I flash frequently on the phrase “My heart in my mouth” in the context of my life and work. A stage manager since college, I’ve dealt with artists of difficult and different temperaments, handled intricate personal and political relationships and institutions. Theatre artists share our humanity in a common space, both on stage and off. In these divisive times, we all need to learn the next words to build a more positive future.
