But, for others, to paraphrase that MasterCard commercial,

Taxi ride to a Broadway show: $30
Tickets to a Broadway show: $200
A starring role in a Broadway show: “Priceless”.

Okay, enough with the pop culture references.

Congrats on the Broadway run!

PS. My 6 year old niece wanted to know why are there floating dots on the screen? I told her they were snowflakes. But, I must confess, for a second there, I thought I was getting a detached retina!

You are actually the first actor/actress that I have ever met (conversationally) to actually speak to, therefore I guess it is why I am asking you this question. I myself have at times looked at myself and thought back to the ideas of how I viewed myself and how I am today.

The actor/actress is living thier life but at the same time, taking on personnas and roles as if they are thier own. Do these roles they play influence the person they are or that they could have been.

Do you or any other of your cast ever look into the mirror and ask yourself, Is this the mask I am wearing or is the mask now wearing me?

At the end of a play, do you shed the personna as the snake sheds its skin or do you take on aspects of speech, attitude or walk of the characters you have played?

The blog seems to be a way of presenting yourself to the world and those who are your fans. I am not a journalist, though I may be considered as curious as one. I have been asking questions since I was born, (most of them pretty ignorant ones) though I guess I will ask them for a few years more.

You come across as a pretty straight forward person, with a decent head on your soldiers. I guess thats why I ask these questions and hope for an answer.

That’s why I think that line at the start of the play about interpretation – ‘the screens we create’ – is so important. Mamet is setting up the tragedy in the first act, even before you get comfortable in your seat. “That’s right.” puts an exclamation point on it. Carol gets under your skin, but she doesn’t BS you.

Though I will go on the record as stating the professor, even though a completely broken man at the end, had no right to strike Carol. This surprised me even after all he took.

I remember walking out of the theatre and mouthing ‘that was brilliant.’ My primary fascination was with the fact that Carol never actually lied. What she’d told the committee, from that quotes the audience heard, about how the professor put his arm around Carol, invited her back to his office alone, raising her grade – it was all true. The interpretation of those innocent actions was incredibly powerful and the closing line of “that’s right” was a little chilling.

I saw the play back in November and you both gave wonderfully compelling performance. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
