If you won $96,000 from the lottery, what would you do with it?
First of all, I would pay off my student loans. I would spend some to find a nice apartment in the city, and buy the biggest TV I could find.

Who’s someone in your life that’s not blood related, but who you consider to be family?
My three dachshunds.

What was your neighborhood like when you were growing up? What’s that neighborhood like now?
My neighborhood consisted of a variety of small houses but a very nice group of neighbors and neighborhood children. The lady next door would grow all sorts of fruit and vegetables and bake sweets, all for us. Looking at it now the houses seem even smaller and shabby, but I can still see my treehouse and the neighbor’s garden.

What’s your favorite photo from your childhood? What’s your family’s favorite photo?
My favorite photos are of my birthday parties, where my family and friends and I were all dressed according to the theme and everything was joyous.  I do not have any of my old photos with me in the digital age, they are all back home in scrapbooks.

Where do you call home?
Home is wherever I long to be most. Sometimes, when I am at rehearsal or work, I can think only of going home to my apartment and bed. Other times, home is where I plan to go when I haven’t visited my family in a few months, and home is actually the house where my parents still live and not where I currently am.

Do you have a favorite moment in the play?
I love the moment when all of the characters imagine what they could do with their life if they won the $96,000 lottery. It is such a nice glimpse into the dreams of these people, it really tells about their personal ambitions and values to see what they would do with the opportunity to create change.

What was your first job in theater?
During my first year of university, when I had begun to title myself a student of the arts, I participated in the big musical as a scenic crew member. My duties consisted of appearing invisible in blacked-out clothes and shoes, moving over-sized set pieces onstage (assisted by under-sized ingénue actresses who were also on the scenic crew), and keeping quiet while the “fake” scenic crew ensemble of twenty black-clad undercover performers sang.  They were meant to appear to be the show’s crew, but actually stayed in their dressing rooms the whole night while the “real” crew did the work.
