There's pre-production, and the second part is when you start rehearsal. Pre-production was a very large learning curve for me.

It's very rare for me to come across a script for NYMF that is truly its own animal. That's really what appealed to me about 'Valueville.' I still have my notes from when I first read it.

I was a judge for the 2014 NYMF season. I've done it for a few years. They send you a certain amount of scripts and scores, and you rank them.

My brother Mike is the hardest working person I know.

Phyllida Lloyd is probably the sweetest person on the planet.

Acting I never worried about, but it's so strange that on-camera work is so much more technical than theatre work, which I would have never thought in a million years.
