Worst Flubbed Line/Missed Cue/Onstage Mishap

In a college production of The Owl and the Pussy Cat I had a quick costume change and put my nightgown on backwards and I didn't know until the lights came up onstage. The neckline was to my belly button.


Other people renown for wearing their clothes backward...

Worst Costume
None worn by me.

What Holds Dallas Back From Theatrical Greatness?
Edge
Show You Hope Never to See Again?

Not a play but a musical: Oklahoma. I was in a horrible production in school so I can't bear to see it.

Dream Profession if You Didn’t Become an Artist?

A musician or a painter.

What Did You Want To Be When You Were Little?

Rocky the Flying Squirrel




Best Piece of Theater You’ve Ever Seen

Morning, Noon and Night by Ted Shine; I saw that play at 8 years old and that play made me want to be an Actor.
