Massive Draft asks: Have you ever seen a performance that made you wish you had witnessed rehearsals?

 Aaron Carter is the Literary Manager at Steppenwolf, and the editor of Massive Draft.

I’m obsessed with process, so I often find myself attempting to divine the series of discoveries and decisions that led to a particular moment on stage. Sometimes it’s because I can’t fathom how a human could create something so brilliant. And sometimes it’s because I can’t fathom how a human could create something so misguided.

Tell me I’m not alone in my obsession. Have you ever seen a peformance that got you wondering exactly how that experience came to be?
