Acknowledgments
It is impossible to thank everyone who has contributed to the ideas revealed in the following pages. Among those who deserve special mention are Paul Richardson and the Cambria Press staff, as well as my colleagues in the Department of Theatre, Communication and Fine Arts at Gannon University. I appreciate their support and their encouragement to complete this book.
At the risk of overlooking someone, I do wish to express my thanks to a special few who have contributed their own energy to this project.

Little did I know at the time that The Stranger would partly guide the next ten years of my professional life. Second, I wish to thank Annette Holba for her feedback on a much earlier draft of this project. In addition to providing a content-based friendship, her work on philosophical leisure has influenced my own academic development. Third, I wish to thank Eric Grabowsky for
