In your own words
“The written word may move us, anger us, sadden us, or make us happy, but normally much less so than when we see the story happening in front of us. Theater allows us to relate to the characters, to feel for them, to imagine ourselves in their shoes … through mediums like theater, art and music we are able to relate to something outside our own egos and stay connected to the threads common to humanity across (most) cultures and languages.

“(In this show), I like having such a rich character to work with … she’s struggling with failed relationships and with the idea of where her place is in the world, where her “home” is … It’s just a joy to be in this production.”
