Quote of the Day: A word from IRONBOUND star Marin Ireland...
"My favorite thing to hear from people is, 'I left the theater and couldn't stop thinking about it.' You want your work to have an impact after they leave the theater. It's the equivalent of leaving a musical humming a show tune."
-- Marin Ireland (via BrainyQuote)
