"Unlike traditional theater, however, the \"stage\" is everyday life.  The "

"Like a car driven by the engine, these performances are driven by programs "

"Individually or collaboratively, depending on plot of each performance, the "
"participants unfold the \"play\" in their minds, inspired by the weakest "
"possible but accurately planted seeds of inspiration provided by our "
"machinary."
