Current Show You Have Been Recommending to Friends
| ||
I need to see more theater really; I get stuck in a crazy schedule. I took my kids to see Joseph [and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat] this Summer at DTC and it was very enjoyable and we sang along. That was super fun. I need to see more. Becky Shaw [at Kitchen Dog] was very good, interesting, took lots of friends; they loved it.

Favorite Play

Advice You Wish You Had Been Given
When You Were Younger | ||
Work hard, but don't let other people take advantage of you; no one is better than you. | ||
| Song You Never Grow Tired of Hearing - Why? | ||
Last Book You Read
| ||
Seamus Heaney's translation of Beowulf
| ||
Last Good Movie You Saw
| ||
Wow - I don't get to watch movies very much - "Brave."
| ||
Favorite Comfort Meal
| ||
Enchiladas Verdes
| ||
Superstitions?
| ||
Knock on wood when you say something horrible that hasn't happened to you yet. God gives you one warning.
| ||
Worst Costume Ever
| ||
Lysistrata in graduate school - Madonna torpedo bra thing; tiny tutu and eight inch heels.
 | ||
What Did You Want To Be When You Were Little?
| ||
A plumber.
| ||
What Was Life Like For You in 1989?
| ||
Pretty awesome, immersed in the Theater machine that is Meadows-SMU. Never could really get the eighties/SMU fashion down, though.
| ||
When Have You Been the Most Scared In Your Life?
| ||
Once three armed men tried to break into my apartment when I was in college. And then when I went into labor, that was scary, too.
| ||
Bucket List Roles
| ||
I always freeze up when someone asks me what I want to do if I could. I think I work best taking on the role that finds me next.

A Play That Hasn’t Been Done on a Dallas Stage But Should Be
| ||
?
| ||
Performer You Would Drop Everything to Go See
| ||
One Play You Hope You Never See Again
| ||
Every play has potential - but anything about The Holocaust, done by high school students, I don't ever have to see again.
| ||
What Holds Dallas Back From Theatrical Greatness?
| ||
We just see ourselves as the underdogs instead of owning the greatness.
| ||
If You Had to Run a Show for 10 Years,
What Would it Be?
| ||
Wow that's a long time, probably a Chekhov - maybe The Cherry Orchard because you never really get it right and you could work on it forever.
| ||
Dream Profession if You Didn’t Become an Artist?
| ||
Kept Woman or Child Advocate Lawyer, depending on the day.
| ||
Worst Flubbed Line/Missed Cue/Onstage Mishap
| ||
My tube top fell down once in Road! That was fun.  | ||
