from The Magic Stone PLAYBILL

What

happens

between

the

ages

of

7

and

70?

It

seems

to

me

that

for

many

of

us

our

imaginations

get

whisked

away

from

us

before we’re 7 and mysteriously restored much later in life.

But what about those of us...the majority of us, in between?

To

me,

the

wisdom

in

our

society

lies

in

these

two

ends

of

the

chronological spectrum: The very young and the elderly.

But who’s running our world? Not our elders. Not our children.

I

feel

that

this

is

the

essence

in

the

magic

stone.

Reclaiming

our

innocence

and

imagination.

We

CAN

have

it

all.

We

can

have

the

innocence

and

simplicity

of

childhood

—

and

the

wisdom

and

perspective

of

our

elders.

We’re

supposed

to

have

it all, so we can give it all.

And why not.

Life’s short bucko.
