A couple of hundred at the outmost. Or how peripheral an activity it's perceived to be out there. The sad fact is, the theater is not a profession for grown-ups anymore, it's a sublime hobby. Maybe I was ruined as a child, maybe I was conditioned like a Pavlov dog, maybe I just enjoy doing it. I don't have a good reason.

You like anchovies or you don't, and most people don't. I myself-I like anchovies. I just can't help it. Israel Horovitz , a playwright of great talent, humor and vitality, manages to be as fascinating in person as he is on paper. He was kind enough to share some of his thoughts on theater, writing for the big screen and much more.
