WHAT WAS YOUR VERY FIRST SHOW?:
Alice in Wonderland

HAVE YOU EVER HAD A DANCE SOLO?:
AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA...if you count the hip wiggle thing I did in Carnival or that bed swaying in Lucky Stiff 'dancing'.

Indeed.

Nopers.

WHAT'S THE SCARIEST PART OF AN AUDITION?:
Waiting to go in and audition, or waiting for the cast to be announced.

WHAT'S THE BEST PART OF AN AUDITION?:
All of it. It's exhilarating.

NAME A SHOW YOU WOULD NEVER DO AGAIN:
I'd do any show again for the experience, even if I couldn't stand the show itself. Why miss an opportunity to gain a new insight of the theatre?

Again, I'd do any show for years if I had the opportunity. But probably Mrs. Bob Cratchit's Wild Christmas Binge or Lucky Stiff.

No, I need to get some professionally done.

Only ones I like.

ON A SCALE OF 1-10, HOW IMPORTANT IS GETTING PAID?:
1. I don't care. It's what I love, it's my passion, it's what I was made to do. If I happen to get paid for it, that's awesome.

SOMETHING EMBARRASSING OR UNEXPECTED THAT HAPPENED TO YOU WHILE ON STAGE?:
Once, I spilled soda EVERYWHERE. Another time, I had water spit out onto me. Another time, I had to drink something quickly on stage and it was some sugary sweet stuff - something we never used before and it coated my throat so by the end of the song I couldn't get the last notes out and the other actor on stage with me had to cover my butt. Oh! And, I had a snake trying to choke me. That was neat.

WHAT IS YOUR MOST MEMORABLE PERFORMANCE?
I don't know that I could narrow it down to just one performance.

WHO IS THE MOST DIFFICULT PERSON (ON STAGE OR OFF) THAT YOU HAVE EVER WORKED WITH?:
Like I'm gonna say here...haha. Nice try.

EVER BEEN NAKED ON STAGE?:
No way. No one would pay to see that.
