Rem tene; verba sequentur.
Grasp the subject, the words will follow.
Cato the Elder
Cato the Elder, whose other notable quote is ‘Delenda est Carthago ‘or ‘Carthage must be destroyed!’, gives good advice for playwrights here: nail the story from spine to skeleton to full body and the dialogue will flow.
It’s appropriate guidance for a website makeover as well. The subject for us there is making theater live. And we promote that purpose through this website with its blog and other features. The new look to our website courtesy of the effort and skills of Gifford Elliott reminded us not only of all the KWT productions since 2018, but also of the story from over forty years ago that coursed through two of the KWT founders — Marjorie Phillips and T.J. Elliott — a passion to make theater live. We were lucky then to have such able collaborators and we are similarly fortunate now.
Our new design celebrates the work of our collaborators, and highlights some of our more recent moments of live theater via our YouTube channel. We hope you check out those videos and other stories as well as 13 Ways of Looking at Self-Producing, which will soon be available as an e-book on Amazon. Coming up in January: a staged reading of RETROSPECTIVE, a new play.
We seek producers for that play and other planned works, collaborators who wish to join us on this journey of theatre making. Interested? We’ll buy the beverage for an in-person discussion. Just email KWTto start the connection.
