For his Director's Notes, Rovin Jay chose Harry Belafonte's 1969 Tony Awards speech:

"Scientists deal in logic and I have the faith that they will get some of us to the Moon. But there is more than logic in the theatre. The theatre deals with passion and emotion. We live in emotional times. Artists are emotional people. So, listen to them, friends."
— Harry Belafonte, 1969 Tony Awards
