“The arts are not there to comfort. The arts are
there to hold a mirror up to society. If you don't like what you see, why don't
you change?''—Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Edward Albee (Mar. 12,
1928-Sept. 16, 1916), address to Rollins College, quoted in Elizabeth Maupin, “Winter Park—Playwright Edward Albee Thanked,”
