Barbara J Sloan is a former theatre professor, a mother of two grown children and grandmother of five, an author and playwright, a teacher and world traveler.
My first book Barefoot Among the Thorns: The Story of Dance in Birmingham was about our local art scene.
Theatre Is My Life! Thoughts on Play Quotes: A book of meditations for each day of the year was the personal, human side of theatre I discovered in my now almost five decades of involvement in it. I believe that even the mundane in our lives is spiritual in nature, and although theatre is anything but mundane, viewing a play or working on one can be a sacred experience. Theatre Is My Life! is a daybook of meditations based on play quotes. A vast majority of the plays I cite are ones that I designed or directed over my long career teaching and working in the theatre.
