Playwright Terrence McNally: 'The Most Significant Thing a Writer Can Do Is Reach Someone Emotionally'

“To me, the most significant thing a writer can do is reach someone emotionally. Theatre is an emotional medium and [through it] we’ve expanded people’s acceptance of our fellow man. And this is what you write for, to reach other people. But a gay conspiracy— [LAUGHS] No.” – McNally to Parade in 2014

Playwright Terrence McNally talks ‘Ragtime’ and a life in the theater - The Boston Globe

When playwright Terrence McNally was asked nearly two decades ago to write the book for a musical version of “Ragtime,’’ he immediately said yes. He eventually won one of his four Tony Awards for his contribution to the show, which opened on Broadway in 1998. With Fiddlehead Theatre Company mounting its own production of “Ragtime” this week, McNally came to Boston recently and spoke about his work.

“I’m of the school “Write what you know.” You can educate yourself, but the best writing usually comes from the heart. If you’re trying to write something that you don’t understand and embrace at the very core of you, it’s not going to turn out with quite the authenticity and passion it should have. I never felt there were obstacles. My first play [“And Things That Go Bump in the Night,’’ from 1965] had gay characters and it was roundly criticized for that, but it opened in a Broadway theater. That wouldn’t have happened in a lot of countries.”

“I’ve always been attracted to projects where I don’t know how they’re going to turn out. If I ever evince bravery in my life, it tends to be at a keyboard. And we live in a culture where I’ve felt emboldened to be outspoken, and have not been shut down. I’ve surrounded myself with very bright, very brave, talented people. If I find myself to be the smartest person in a room, I go to another room.”

“Theater should resemble more a newsroom, with deadlines, than a slow, leisurely workshop development process, which is coming more and more in favor. In theater, you should strike while the iron is hot. It’s the moment. It’s like with food: You taste it, and you don’t wait a week to say if you like the sauerkraut.”

As the Wealth Gap Widens, Advertising Embraces the French Revolution

Why everyone from Nicki Minaj to Kellogg's is referencing Marie Antoinette and the Reign of Terror

“Economists have made much of the fact that income inequality is at a level not seen since 1789, on the eve of the French Revolution. On September 4, 2013, Forbes asked in all seriousness: “Could America’s Wealth Gap Lead to a Revolt?” And the wealth gap isn’t just an American phenomenon. By the most recent estimates, one percent of the world’s population holds half of its wealth. Today, when the media throw around terms like domestic terrorism, redistribution of wealth, or the 99 percent, they’re using the language of the French Revolution.”

40% of Millennials OK with limiting speech offensive to minorities

That's compared with 27% of Gen Xers and 24% of Boomers who say the same.

The raw stats.

[myinterdigiturgy]

Stop saying only liberals are overly politically correct. Republicans also favor censoring speech.

Liberals and conservatives are sensitive to speech transgressions, just not the same ones.

How Trigger Warnings Are Hurting Mental Health on Campus

College students are increasingly demanding protection from words and ideas they don’t like. Here’s why that’s disastrous for education.

“This institution will be based on the illimitable freedom of the human mind. For here we are not afraid to follow truth wherever it may lead, nor to tolerate any error so long as reason is left free to combat it.” - Thomas Jefferson.

“According to the most-basic tenets of psychology, helping people with anxiety disorders avoid the things they fear is misguided.”
