“In every person there is a drive towards the caring for and pleasing of self; in every person there is a drive towards other things, a desire to meet and know these….If it is possible; if, in fact, it is the great purpose of art to be one's self and yet give everything to the object—can we not find here the just purpose in life itself?” —from Self and World by Eli Siegel

"I Believe this about Acting": I tell about the urgent, needed comprehension of the art of acting and the human self that I learned from Aesthetic Realism and Eli Siegel.

"Hamlet Once More, Different" is my report of hearing Eli Siegel read this play in 1963, and his new understanding of what Shakespeare intended.

"My Mother Was a Girl": A short story by my late husband, Sheldon Kranz, which has been performed dramatically.Visit SheldonKranz.com for his poems, historic talk "Turning Over a New Leaf; or, What Is Literature?," reports of Aesthetic Realism classes, & other works.

Ambition in Marriage: True & False: From an Aesthetic Realism seminar, given with my colleagues in the teaching trio There Are Wives, which includes a discussion of a famous wife in a play, Lady Macbeth.
