The Play is the Thing: I REMEMBER MAMA
Breaking Character: An actor rarely gets an opportunity to recreate a role. My good fortune is to have accomplished this several times before the recent production of I Remember Mama, so I feel blessed. Earlier in my career I played in Brighton Beach Memoirs, A little Night Music and Company with three different companies all across America. But the chance to do I Remember Mama again was unique in that we had most of the original cast and the original director. Revisiting the script after a two year hiatus with the same wonderful actors was a special treat. We bring the same truth, but a second look offers a deeper, wiser and more confident work ethic to the script.
