. . . fix it. University of North Carolina theatre professor and Theatre Ideas blogger Scott Walters argues the case for the theatre generalist:
“. . . given the economics of theatre, the generalist is vastly more valuable than the specialist, and that theatre history bears this out. Moliere was a great playwright AND the leading actor for his company AND the head of the company. Shakespeare was a great playwright AND and actor in his company AND one of the owners of the company. The specialist is a symptom of our industrial approach to the creation of theatre art, a model that is fast becoming economical unworkable.”– Scott Walters
