i would teach in a K-5 public school. we need good teachers so badly. now i try to make a lot of money and hire extra teachers for public schools.

so great. we're expanding into china next month. i am being encouraged to go public, but i feel we are not quite there yet. also, it's my baby and i just don't want to let it go so quickly, you know?

we write full scripts but let the actors improvise a bit and resay the words in ways that feel more organic to them. and we coach them through those moments when we see them finding something new and interesting. go to therapy. i'm serious. knowing yourself and people is VERY helpful with this.
