"Place not as stage but as theater." That adds an exciting new dimension to the WHERE of story, since the WHEN and the WHAT happen there. In three weeks I'm joining two other writers at an event dubbed "Imagining Oregon," because our novels are all set in the Beaver State. Thanks for this food for thought, Beth, which has me reconsidering the scene-enveloping aspects of my book!

Thinking about place as theater links me back to my the first degree in dramatic arts, it's so much more than just stage. And this adds to your earlier teachings on Place that were such an eye-opener for me. Your examples from books are wonderful and help me see possibilities in my own work. Thank you.
