Why acting?
For me the question isn't so much "why acting?" as it is "why theatre," or just, "why make art?" Making art, making theatre connects me to other people and to some big spirit out there in the universe: the force of CREATING and being ALIVE and putting cool stuff into the world. And anything that makes me feel like I can do that is a good thing in my book.
How did you get involved with Shikataganai?
Months ago, Kendra told me that she had written a new play and would I be in it? I was thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Kendra and excited to be working on a play that is so much about my family's history (I have two grandparents who were in the internment camps). And then we ended up here!
