We're hoping the kids (who have been evacuated to Baton Rouge) realize there are people out there that care for them and are concerned about them.
It's exciting to see a kid at a rehearsal meeting with someone who seems like such an icon.
I had a lot of lucky breaks When I got a job that I had no training in; I just had to get good and work very, very hard, learning what I needed.
I'll be going to the granddaddy of the Los Angeles theaters.
I'll miss the idea of 400 people coming together for such a short period of time. They arrive and then just start creating theater.
I'm going to miss the mix of the kids who are 21 and come up here and find themselves with people who are at the peak of their careers.
I've spent a lot of time in LA, so I have a fairly good sense of what that world is, and that group has been supportive of the theater in the past.
I've never liked having a play read to me.
I've never presented. The logistics of that is a challenge.
In next five to 10 years I probably would have done my best work, but I was afraid of having another 10 or 15 years ahead of me and feeling stale, so this was an opportunity to reinvigorate myself.
