I've studied theater since high school. Of course, it's a different story altogether being on Broadway, but it's still theater, and you have to be in front of a live audience, and that's very exciting. It's something I've definitely wanted to do, but...
I'm always interested in looking - historically - at how theater can animate history and how all of that can make us engage with our lives in an enriching way.
