Famous quotes containing the word theater:

    “In the theater of confusion, knowing the location of the exits is what counts.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “Be reflective ... and stay away from the theater as much as you can. Stay out of the theatrical world, out of its petty interests, its inbreeding tendencies, its stifling atmosphere, its corroding influence. Once become “theatricalized,” and you are lost, my friend; you are lost.”
    —Minnie Maddern Fiske (1865–1932)

    “This ... is an age of specialization, and in such an age the repertory theater is an anachronism, a ludicrous anachronism.”
    —Minnie Maddern Fiske (1865–1932)
