In this brief excerpt from the concert performance of the musical Highest Education, Speaker A recounts how he and his partner Pamela wrote the show in 2013 with the intention of crafting a strong female lead, inspired by his own marriage to a strong woman. Despite their effort, something felt missing until a Theater Accelerator class prompted a discussion about perceiving the world in black‑and‑white terms. Speaker B responds, describing a shift in perception: the world, once seen only in stark contrasts, now reveals shades of gray and color, symbolizing a deeper, more human experience. The dialogue uses the metaphor of color to illustrate the evolution of the characters and the creators’ artistic insight.

Chapters

Pamela and I wrote the show Highest Education back in 2013, and the interesting story about it was we wanted to write a strong female character since we— I am married to a strong female character, and we did, but there was something missing and we couldn't quite figure out what it was until a class in Theater Accelerator where we were talking about Do we feel the world was only black and white up till yesterday?
But look at that Now I see she is blooming. There is something new inside her, something that's real. There's a brand new part of being human that we both feel. The world was only black and white up till yesterday. But look at that, now I see. A little bit of gray. I see color. I don't look good in gray. I see color. A little bit of gray.
