We hope that those of you who feel some connection with either the Creative Urge or the LOGRES will desire to grow with us in the days ahead, in person, when possible, and by dialogue here, on the net, from wherever you are on Planet Earth. Either way, please consider yourself officially invited to become part of our American Logres Theatre creative community where we pledge ourselves to encourage, motivate, and inspire each other, based up here in the heights of the Green Mountains of Vermont, U.S.A.
Our talent potentials in writing of all kinds are much more than most of us believe. American Logres Theatre, as was Round Barn Theatre before it, is being founded upon this proposition: "The entire human family is endowed with an enormous range of talent potentials in creating not just in one area, but several within the various fine and performing arts . I am convinced that 99% of what we don't create is because of the first, responsibilites and "distractions" that get in the way of what may be a deep DESIRE to be able to "do", to create. Second, if oxygen and water were no more plentiful than the amount of encouragement you and I get in this world, the Amazon Rain Forests would have looked like the Sahara Desert, long ago. The lack of ENCOURAGEMENT and mentoring which enables us to "do", to create, needs to be addressed. And the third part of our threefold thought here is to provide a venue, a showcase for your work that is created here within ALT. How will it feel, knowing that a community of people who are really interested in your work are looking forward to "joying" with you in what you are doing, whether it's helping you perform and/or present it , or to being an appreciative and supportive fellow sojourner? OPPORTUNITY.
So what have we got here? DESIRE. You've gotta have that. We can't create that.
ENCOURAGEMENT and enabling. We can do that. And will.
OPPORTUNITY. We'll make that happen, also.
A Mission Statement of sorts for the CREATIVE part of ALT.
Waiting to hear from you, soon. Leslie

Welcome to all Visitors from Leslie
Greetings to all friends, including those from Staten Island, Brooklyn, Manhattan, New Jersey, and more distant parts. And to all of our new friends throughout the state of Vermont, from the past five years, here in the state of Vermont.
Karen and I hope you find our new website to be decent.
In this blog, from now on, I want to begin a dialogue on our keyword theme, LOGRES, and the two main branches that extend from that source.
The first major theme will be the wide and under engaged realm of CREATIVITY. How much potential is their in our human society for creative expression, and how much of that talent lies dormant, needing only to be encouraged?
The second theme is the all important keyword concept to us at American Logres Theatre, that of course being LOGRES.
If you have looked over the links from our homepage, you have a good introduction to what LOGRES is all about. My own growth and understanding of this spiritual "climate" change has been growing and deepening since those early days in late 1973, when this 20 year old college student, newly "revived", after my James Dean "Rebel Without a Cause" teen years, was finishing the last of the seven Chronicles of Narnia books, by C.S. Lewis. That book, The Last Battle, ends with the earth children and Narnian friends passing into new lands that are clearly related to the Narnia and the England they knew all along. But not the same. These new realms are "within" the Old, yet larger! Brighter, more solid, richer in color, richer in all of the senses. What Lewis was driving at, though I hadn't yet met his concept yet, (that didn't come until a year later), was LOGRES. The Last Battle- the last 5 pages of the book. What we used to call ,"a mind blower!" And in a so-called children's book! Mind blower! You can trust me on this. Once again. Welcome. Much more to come.
