In David Sedaris's book "Naked," he reflects on the challenges and dynamics of performing arts. He realized that bringing together more than two people with creative aspirations in a confined space could lead to overwhelming situations. This experience of being part of a theatrical environment presented unique difficulties.

The concept of a stage transcends mere physicality; it also symbolizes a mindset. The term "audience" takes on an ironic meaning, as it relates to those who endure the presence of performers. Young actors often exhaust themselves and their peers, likening their constant display of creativity to unending illumination, which can drain both individuals and the relationships among them.
