"We open in what? Eight days? And here I am, still learning lines. "Pressure is a privilege," says Billie Jean King and there's a video clip that's been getting around the theater community recently in which Philip Seymour Hoffman reminds actors that it's a gift and an honor to be able to hone one's craft "in a room someone else has paid rent on." It certainly is the greatest joy to work on Alec's beautiful play with all these brave and hard-working people, to embrace the challenges this material presents me as a mother of young children, a wife, and "someone who creates things" as my character Kira dreams of doing. It has always been my dream to do this work and I am thankful for this opportunity with every beat of my (currently very anxious) heart."

On the process so far:
"Rehearsals are going well. I'm consistently amazed by Jenna's ability to see and use beautiful behavior to tell the story. I've been forced to really step up and answer questions that I'd not thought of before. This has highlighted my weaknesses as a writer, which is good. I'm excited for our run throughs that are coming up. Those are gonna be cool!!!!!!! All and all having fun. Alec" Wanna see the work for yourself? Click Here to Reserve Tickets! |
