Who do you play in The Mysteries?: Abraham and The Apostle John

Tell us about The Mysteries:The Mysteries is a remarkable retelling of the Bible interpreted by 48 of today's best playwrights and performed by a ridiculous amount of talented people. There's food too. The greatest story ever told makes for a pretty great party.

Describe The Mysteries in three words: So. Many. People.

What's the wildest costume you wear in The Mysteries?: A Duck Dynasty-esque Abraham outfit with a lot of camouflage and some wonderful braids in my hair.

Definitely Kyle Hines. He might have been an evil person though.

Which company member is most likely to be the Messiah?: At this point, it's hard to think of anyone other than Colin.

Most likely to become an angel?:
I think everyone's an angel. ;)

On the 8th day god said_____:"Hey, tomorrow is the 9th day."

What's the biggest inside joke at The Mysteries?: My favorite of recent memory involves gardening.

What's your favorite moment from The Mysteries?: The end of Acts 1 & 2 send a shiver down my spine just listening to them. Also, Alex Seife's John Wayne voice.
