I loved the article, Clayton! And thanks for the profound compliment of being compared to Elif Batuman. But I bow to her. And to the power, we have all experienced-- thanks to Doc, our audiences and each other-- of theater that transforms and transcends.

Love to you all.
Terry

Hey everyone --

This story isn't free online, but it's in the current two-week issue and well worth the effort of finding a copy at the newsstand (are there still newsstands?). The opening paragraphs took me back to Doc's early lessons and Erving Goffman. Wonderful. There is a slideshow on the website about this all-female Turkish theater troupe. The founder sounds like a Turkish Terry Galloway to me… (Can there be two in this world? What would happen if they meet? Look out…!)

Happy holidays and New Year to all --
