1.
When did the acting bug bite you?
I guess the acting bug bit the first
time I went to a theatre, probably at about age 5 or so. The first time I performed in a play was in
first grade.
2.
When and where was your first performance?
I played The Sun in a play about a farm.
I studied dance as a kid, so my first professional plays were musicals in which
I danced.
3.
What drew you to theater?
There was always something special about
the physical feel of the theatre, sitting in the dark and watching people in
the light perform just for me. In the dark,
it's safe to react however you feel…laugh, cry, scream…I felt at home there,
but not exactly comfortable, excited and anxious, but at home.
4.
What role was your favorite?
I really don't have a favorite
role. I have had a chance to play so
many tremendous women, created by some of the most gifted playwrights.
"Amanda" in THE GLASS MENAGERIE by Tennessee Williams, I have played
three times. "Maria Callas" in
MAST…
