Hello Amanda! Welcome back and thank you for directing another Class 6 production! Remind us of your involvement.
I first came to class6 to direct a staged reading of Stop Kiss and was thrilled to be asked back last season to direct How I Learned to Drive. I also understudied for 12th night last season and now I'm so excited to be direction in rep with David Dickinson again.
What excited you about this play?
What first excited me about the show is how smart and funny it is. I
kept laughing out loud reading it for the first time and I'm sure my
husband thought I was a little crazy from how often the giggles came. As
I started preparing more for the production I found that what I loved
even more than the humor is how passionate each character is and how
hopeful this play is which is a rare emotion in anything to do with
politics these days. And now I'm excited about how great my cast is in
bringing this brilliant script to life. So basically I am excited about
all of it.
This show is pretty political; would you say you have a political affiliation?
I don't really fall very easily into a political party. I'm like the
Pope- only way less people care what I think because I have no money or
clout. Also, I am not half as cool as the Pope. But getting back to the
point which is how I don't really feel like I side well with anyone
politically… maybe that's another reason why I was drawn to this show.
Katherine's vision of a new kind of politics appeals to me.
After taking the quiz, which founding father are you?
I got Sam Adams… probably because when beer was a choice, I chose it.
Sam Adams
