Favorite Halcyon shows:
Henry IVand Family Devotions
Worst/most embarrassing stage moment:
Just happened during Tiny Dynamitea while back. It's a three character play and during one of my response lines, I called the other actor my character's name! I cried on my way home from that show.
Who are some of your favorite theatre artists?
Kenn E. Head - Sharp, Explosive and tactical actor
Lance Baker - Clean, visceral, and poised actor
Aaron Todd Douglass - Brillant director
Jenn Adams - Playful and open to every experience in the rehearsal room
Raul Esparza - Pure talent and excellent training
I will stop there, this is a long list for me...
I create theatre because....
It gives me a platform to share, wholly, who I am and for the audience to share, connect, and converse on what I hope would be a spiritual, microcosmic, human experience.
How did your family/friends react to you joining the arts?
They were concerned because I stopped a rising career in the business world and switched my education, but after they saw a few plays and saw me on TV they believed I could reach the heights.
What does "making it big" mean to you? How do you judge success in a show?
Making it big...having financial stability (as an artist) and making compelling work at the same time. I think a show is successful based on how many people it touches and if they were able to understand the work.
Who do you make theatre for?
My God, My People, Our Story.
