When did you know you wanted to be an actor?
The first time I stepped into a rehearsal room, as a Munchkin in The Wizard of Oz, I fell in love with the theatre. I continued acting, but didn’t consider it seriously as a profession until I spent a summer at the Missouri Fine Arts Academy. When I met working actors, I knew I could, and would, be one myself.
How did you come to work on this production?
I met Eric Dente working on a production of Caryl Churchill’s Fen, and he offered me a role in the staged reading. From there, I was offered a role in the full production.
List three adjectives that describe your character.
Dependant, Naïve, Puritanical
How are you 18th century? What about the 21st century could you not live without?
I could live a very Spartan lifestyle if it came down to it, but the internet has undoubtedly changed my life forever. Thanks, Al!
What is your heritage?
Scottish, Irish, Dutch… I’m a mutt, and my father’s family has been in America since the 1600s, so I guess that makes me, simply, American.
If you could have lunch with an important historical figure, who would it be? Why?
Harry S Truman. He is from my home state, and had to make a decision that has shaped international relations for the past 75 years. He also did a lot for civil rights. Fun Fact: His middle initial, S, is not an abbreviation. S is his middle name, hence the lack of a period.
What is your favorite part of the rehearsal process?
When the scripts get dropped, fun things really start to happen. Getting props and costumes is always a thrill as well.
If you could make any fictional character real, who would it be? Why?
Albus Dumbledore. Duh.
