Last show added to your resume: As an actor, Hecate; as a writer, Macaria (both in Olympians Festival 2016)
Last show you auditioned for but didn't get cast: The Importance of Being Earnest, at Actors Ensemble of Berkeley, just last month. (I got a callback though!)
Favorite musical: today my heart is saying Sunday in the Park with George
Favorite play: Arcadia
Favorite role you've played: Prof. Renelle Fouche in the reading of Christian Teen Dolphin Sex Beach Party
Favorite costume: Lucinda in Into the Woods; I had a lavender chiffon gown and a cotton-candy-pink wig!
Favorite superstition: I try not to say "Macbeth" or "good luck."
What was your very first show? The Mystery of the Royal Slippers, a kids' adaptation of "The 12 Dancing Princesses." I was 6; I played the Queen. And thus began my long history of always playing the mom and never playing the ingenue.
Have you ever had a dance solo? Nope
Have you ever had a singing solo? Yes, though it's tended to be solo lines/verses of a song rather than, like, the 11-o'clock-number.
Have you ever been the last person to take a bow? Not as an actor, but I have at opening nights of shows I've produced ("Pint-Sized Plays") or written (Pleiades).
Have you been to New York? Yes
Have you been to L.A.? Yes, though I didn't see any theater while I was there
What's the scariest part of an audition? When they make you do wacky physical or improv stuff.
What's the best part of an audition? When you can sing a song you love.
Name a show you could do for years: It might be lovely to do A Little Night Music for years, it's so beautiful and romantic. And maybe after a year I'd finally have "The Miller's Son" word-perfect!
What are you auditioning for next? Who knows?
Do you keep in touch with past cast members? Yes, but I could be better at it.
Something embarrassing or unexpected that happened to you while you were onstage? Nothing really comes to mind.
Ever been naked onstage? No
Been killed onstage? No
Been drunk onstage? I had to play drunk as Caesar in Our Country's Good. I was 14 and had no idea what I was doing.
Ever played someone half your age? Don't think so
Played someone twice your age? Lots of times
Cried onstage? I fake-cried in the first Theater Pub Christmas show, for comedy purposes, but I've never cried real, serious tears.
Fired a gun onstage? No
Been drenched? No
Been kissed? Yes, as Elsa in The Desk Set. Though you should know that I was the one doing the kissing.
First show you saw on Broadway? Cats.
