Webber says, "The point is that talent is rare enough that
it tends not to stay hidden. Those 30 or so plays make the rounds;
they are the ones by writers... who have been... touted by their
teachers at the important playwriting departments at Juilliard,
Brown, New York University, Iowa, Carnegie-Mellon, Yale and
the University of California, San Diego."
Playwright comments: "So glad to know that all 'talent'
comes out of 'important' formal education programs."

Irked?!!?? I am boiling with bile! I want to storm the Bastille
with pitchforks and torches, I want to string up the "important"
teachers from the nearest lamp post, and make them eat the
pages of commissioned garbage I've sat through in the last
decade...
