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.

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.

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

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).
