What's the biggest inside joke at The Mysteries?: Ed's notes. My favorite ones are "FILL THAT DEATH MOMENT. give me WHAT IS HAPPENING acting and then MY LEGS ARE FAILING ME acting and then WOW I JUST TOOK A SHIT WITHOUT TRYING TO acting and then collapse in a heap of grace and tragedy."

What is the most rewarding part about being a member of The Mysteries?: It has to be three things. First, I am in the love with everyone involved. Everyone is so talented/sweet/intelligent/talented/amazing it makes it a real joy to be in the show. Second, being able to play so many vastly different roles in one night is such a gift. I'm stretching my acting abilities to its limits and that is always a very good thing. Third, the discount we get at South's.
Why should we come see The Mysteries?: It's epic. It's beautiful. It's hilarious. It's SUPER sexy. It's incredibly tragic. It's fun. It's unlike anything else out there.
