傳奇性的藝術導演歐斯卡 · 尤斯提斯認為：真相來自於不同想法的碰撞，戲院扮演著重要的角色，讓我們看見那真相。在這場有力的演講中，尤斯提斯說明他計畫要觸及美國那些被許多其他機構所背棄的地方，傾聽製造業外移的州民的聲音。他說：「我們的職責是要支撐美國的遠景，這遠景不只呈現我們每個人各別的身份，還將我們結合起來，重新成為我們需要成為的共同性。」「那是戲院應該要做的事。」

為什麼戲院對民主很重要

Theater and democracy both emerged in ancient Athens, rooted in dialogue and the power of diverse voices. Live performance transforms isolated spectators into a connected community, forging empathy by showing conflicting perspectives on stage. From Free Shakespeare in the Park to groundbreaking works like "Hamilton," theater has sparked vital cultural conversations and included those left out by other institutions. Touring plays to rural communities, even in deindustrialized regions, aims to restore a sense of belonging and collective identity.
