-: It's been an honor to tell stories
that can change people's lives.
It was wonderful to do
Sunday in the Park With George this summer
because that is the show that sort of clinched it for me
that that's what I want to do.
I was so moved by that story
about how art can affect people,
how art affects your relationships,
how being driven can affect your art.
I was so moved by that production
that I thought I want to make people feel
the way that I feel watching this.
It can be a challenge just to have work
that is available to me
because not every house in Minneapolis,
house I mean theater, is not an equity house.
So if they don't have any equity contracts,
I can't, I can't apply, as it were.
I can't audition for them.
So, though the Minneapolis, St. Paul area,
if an actor chose to live here,
we have, we are second only to New York City
in our theater seats per capita,
so there are a lot of opportunities here
compared to other cities,
but the competition is still pretty fierce here,
and it's up to us to get our butts in the door,
to prepare as best we can for auditions, and get a job.
No one's fighting for us.
We're doing it ourselves and so that can be challenge.
