Why is Live Theatre Relevant to me and to my life?

Renowed American playwright August Wilson said it best: "I believe in the American Theatre. I believe in its power to inform about the human condition. I believe in its power to heal. To hold the mirror as it were up to nature. To the truths we uncover, to the truths we wrestle from uncertain and sometimes unyielding realities. All of art is a search for ways of being, of living life more fully." (from August Wilson's The Ground on Which I Stand)

YB Membership Calendar of Events: Each member receives an invitation to 4 exclusive events throughout the year as part of their membership. 2009 Schedule of Events to be announced soon!
