Anyone who has heard me speak knows that I talk a lot about changing the narrative. As a playwright and an arts educator, I have to measure my words carefully. I wrote an award-winning play called “Ferdinand,” about a single dad raising his son to be big and strong but kind and gentle like his namesake the beloved bull. I wrote it for children but I also wrote it to adults because it was really a play about bullying, gender stereotypes, toxic masculinity, and the messages we give to our children and in rehearsal one day, the actor kept paraphrasing and I had to point out why I had written each word and phrase as I had, the intention behind it. He said to me, “I never realized what a minefield children’s theatre is.”

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
