Famous quotes containing the words performing and/or groups:

    “More than in any other performing arts the lack of respect for acting seems to spring from the fact that every layman considers himself a valid critic.”
    —Uta Hagen (b. 1919)

    “... until both employers’ and workers’ groups assume responsibility for chastising their own recalcitrant children, they can vainly bay the moon about “ignorant” and “unfair” public criticism. Moreover, their failure to impose voluntarily upon their own groups codes of decency and honor will result in more and more necessity for government control.”
    —Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
