Why was it so hard? Teachers are busy, the offer sounded too good to be true, students are overscheduled … and maybe uninterested. “We as artists want students to be exposed to art, but do students want to be exposed to art? I think sometimes, yes. As a high schooler at a school that offered no drama classes, I would have stabbed someone for an after-school improv club. But would I have showed up alone to meet a lady I didn’t know so she could make me pretend to be a chicken or something? Probably not.”
