What's the biggest inside joke at The Mysteries?: Ed's notes.  My favorite ones are "FILL THAT DEATH MOMENT.  give me WHAT IS HAPPENING acting and then MY LEGS ARE FAILING ME acting and then WOW I JUST TOOK A SHIT WITHOUT TRYING TO acting and then collapse in a heap of grace and tragedy."

What's your favorite moment from The Mysteries?: There is a song at the end of the Pentacost episode and it makes me feel happy to be alive every time.

What is the most rewarding part about being a member of The Mysteries?: It has to be three things.  First, I am in the love with everyone involved.  Everyone is so talented/sweet/intelligent/talented/amazing it makes it a real joy to be in the show.  Second, being able to play so many vastly different roles in one night is such a gift.  I'm stretching my acting abilities to its limits and that is always a very good thing.  Third, the discount we get at South's.

Why should we come see The Mysteries?: It's epic.  It's beautiful.  It's hilarious.  It's SUPER sexy.  It's incredibly tragic.  It's fun.  It's unlike anything else out there.  Over 100 artists have come together to make something and that in and of itself is an amazing.  Plus I like to think we're pretty cool and if you come that means we all get to hang out and be friends!
