Why theater?: Nothing else is as lively.
Tell us about The Immortal Coil?: A sardonic comedy where a young soul meets an old soul & both strive to create a work that neither can create alone. Humor, explosion, tenderness, death.

If you could work with anyone you’ve yet to work with, who would it be?: Bill Nighy, Patricia Clarkson
Who would play you in a movie about yourself and what would it be called?: A toss up between the Muppet, Floyd Pepper and the Colorado Rockies, mascot, Dinger. It would be called, “Oh No, Please!”
