What got you started in theatre?

A 5th grade production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. I played Egeus and Oberon.

What is your favorite performance you've ever seen or been a part of? Why?

I have been fortunate to have seen lots of amazing theatre. One piece that stands out is Far Side of the Moon by Robert LePage. One man, one bank of mirrors, an astronaut puppet, and two hours of awesome.

What piece of advice would you give to emerging scholars?

The same advice that one of the folks I studied acting with told me about being on stage: don't worry about being interesting; be interested.

If someone were to write a play about your life, what would the title be?

I hope nobody is tasked with such a chore, but how about: Somewhat Serious, Semi-Complete, and of an Uncertain Magnitude.

What is a fun fact that we should know about you?

I worked as a tour guide for the City of Seattle at a hydro-electric project in the North Cascades for four summers after graduating from the UW (the first time).
