		Theatre was reborn as liturgical dramas—written in Latin and dealing with Bible stories—which would be performed by priests or church members.

		Yet at the same time the conviction was growing in me that the theatre was the greatest of all the arts.
		I felt that something had gone wrong with it in my time and that it was fulfilling only a small part of its potentialities…The tragic had no heat; the comic had no bite; the social criticism failed to indict us with responsibility.
		The theatre has lagged behind the other arts in finding the “new ways” to express how men and women think and feel in our time.

		The genie of the dance offered Terpsichore three wishes and the muse chose: an artistic creator/director with a gleam of revelatory talent in his eye; devotees to dance his creations; and a successor to carry on the vision of the original creator.
		Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre is thrice blessed with the fulfillment of all three wishes.
		Surely one of the most difficult tasks is to inherit such a compendium of challenges: artistic, creative, emotive, technical.

		Since most of her co-stars were seasoned musical theatre pros, their expert performances were far from surprising but delightful all the same.
