Eric Booth is many things: actor,
teacher, arts advocate, and author, to
name a few. Booth’s consummate tal-
ent may be his ability to bring his en-
tire range of skills, experience, and
wisdom to bear onstage as a speaker.
What follows here is an edited version
of remarks Booth delivered at the 2007
Educational Theatre Conference in
September. It’s not possible to commu-
nicate the passion of a riveting speech
like the one he delivered to a packed
house of three hundred theatre teach-
ers. But in the spirit of the provocative
challenges Booth put forth that day,
we’re going to give it our best effort.
