Meet Jackson Tobiska (Machinist, German Officer, Young Director)
You play multiple characters in multiple historical eras. If you could choose a specific time in history to be born, when would you choose?
I would have to say that I am very at peace with the era in which I was born. Witnessing the growth of technology during my time on this earth has been fascinating.
Should Christians or non-Christians come see this play?
This play has something for everyone. It also has some elements that are not for everyone. The most important thing to keep in mind when viewing one of these elements is that you are viewing art. It is meant to strike you in different ways…but it can only hurt you if you let it.
This play shifts from funny to emotional to funny again on a dime. How do you make those shifts?
I keep a thumb tack in my shoe 😉
If you met your character on the street, would you have a beer together? If not, which character would you share a pint with?
I don’t drink…but I wouldn’t mind having some tea with the young director.
What do you connect to in this story?
People struggle against obstacles to bring art to life in these various towns throughout history.
What excites you about this story and why should people come see it?
This play has a lot to say about the world we live in. What have we changed over the last 500 years (give or take a century). But, more importantly, what have we not changed.
