Why theater?: The arc. There's no greater learning experience then putting myself in someone else's shoes and allowing my body to learn a lesson. The depth in which you have to know a character to perform is greater than any class I ever taken. I love being in a creative environment no matter how painful it is. I am grateful to have the theater, I am grateful for the writes that when it's worth its salt, such as Kitchen Table Plays, it's like velvet coming out of my mouth. It's a great joy of mine and I'm pleasured to share my experience with an others.
Tell us About Kitchen Table Plays?: Kitchen Table Plays is a play about finding personal resolution in each of the plays given segments. We have a wonderful cast that is diverse in personality and life experiense and that in my opinion is the Joy of Theater; What happens when you mix a yellow and green? Our writer, Erin Breznitsky, brings a poetry to a very creative structure that I am honored to play in. Our director, Tamara Winters, has a super clear vision of the story we are telling which helps us as actors to find our freedom. It's simply beautiful.
What is it like being apart of the Kitchen Table Play?: It's thrilling being able to work on multiple characters is one show. It's so pleasing what each character allows me to express and discover about myself, and my my are the experiences varied. There is so much hope at the top and it ends in a sort of destruction.
What kind of theater speaks to you? What or who inspires you as an artist?: Theater is the exploration of the human condition, in my opinion, so to say is there a type of theater I cannot say. Just Committed. I'm just thankful for the opportunity that my life has come to this. I love the poetry of great writers thats all i need./ My inspiration is all around me, New York is my inspiration. There are so many people and characters and music and food and art and parks and New York! I love it hear and appreciate the difference from the north from the south in both directions. Now i get to sit in a happy medium. I am blessed. If there's one actor, Mark Rylance and actress Maggie Smith. They work there asses off.
