Steppenwolf Theatre Company Blog – Chicago Theater, World-Class Ensemble

This has been a very challenging week! One of the bitter sweets of making theatre is the bonding and separation. In a short period of time you build strong bonds of trust with people, sometimes total strangers. Because you become so close you sometimes share one another’s experiences, and this week we shared the experience of a deep loss. We press on, chipping away at this colossal monster. I feel this week we entered uncharted waters. “Do I go? I should go! Damn too early! I’m behind the scene. Now I’m ahead of the scene! I know what it is, but what is it?” I see some light at the end of the forest, but not enough to know for sure that I am coming through. Trust! Trust! Trust!
