“Sometimes people ask me why many of our plays and musicals are so dark,” says Founder, Ralph Hyman. “What I tell them is that theater can be a form of entertainment, but it can also be a form of education. Our shows often include at least a bit of humor so that we can entertain as well as raise levels of consciousness — activating people to do something about the ignorance and cruelty concerning human suffering, which we help create with every action that is not compassionate. That is why our message is: ‘Laugh! Cry! Think! Act!’ Let’s not just be entertained; let’s act on what we feel and know to be what is right!”
