Have you binge-watched anything lately, and if so, what? The only thing I’ve been able to binge watch is my script/lines for the show. Lol
What’s something you wish you could do on stage but have never had the chance to do? I would love to do a show with African Dance!
What’s your favorite line in Measure for Measure, and why? “Where is the provost?!”
Why should people come see this show? This show is STILL relevant for today—this story illustrates and highlights the conflict/discourse between gender normativity, the ill-will of patriarchy and rape culture and how marginalized people navigate their agency in the midst of it all.
