"[W]hen we say 'failure,' it connotes being dead in the water as opposed to thinking of it as a way to know where the boundaries areā€¦. As much as I might get down when it initially happens, I always find a couple of weeks later, a couple of months later, that the perspective on the failure--why did it fail?--is the big question. And answering that will tell you a lot about who you are." -- Ryan Rilette, Producing Artistic Director, Round House Theatre
