An Actor's View: Research

I did some research on saints which ended up being very interesting. Judy's character's name is Sister Aloysius -- it turns out, St. Aloysius is the patron saint of youth. Keep that in mind as you watch this show. My character's name is Sister James -- I didn't find out too much on St. James other than that he is both the patron saint of Spain as well as the supposed 'brother' of Jesus, according to several passages in the Bible. This kind of research helps me dive into the playwright's vision of the play, and it gives me insight as to what he sees for his characters and their relationships to other characters in the play.

We open on THURSDAY with Pay What You Can night! It's so soon, I can't believe it. Hope to see you there!
