Why theater?: Because I have no other choice. I simply must!
Who do you play in This Will All Be Yours?: I Play Scott Price in This Will All Be Yours.
Tell us about This Will All Be Yours: This Will All Be Yours is a bit of a family dramady. A family breaks a part in the best way possible --- the children, after coming of age, have different dreams than their parents initially dreamed for them. A family's way of maneuvering through change, moving forward into progress, and allowing their way of life to undergo a sort of metamorphosis. I play a kid out of High School, raised on a farm, who has a deep yearning to be a singer/actor/performer. A smart, kind kid out of place in rural New York. Extremely familiar to a kid who grew up in a small town in East Texas.
What is it like being a part of This Will All Be Yours?: It's exciting to be a part of a new work, and create a role from the roots up.

If you could work with anyone you’ve yet to work with, who would it be?: I'd love to work with Sondheim. Hands Down.
Who would play you in a movie about yourself and what would it be called?: Oh, God... I hope that the movie would be filmed when I'm very old by some very good looking up-and-coming, haha. Sheesh, I dunno. The title? I'd hope it would be something simple, seemingly pretentious, but also humorous. And in french. If you can find something that fits the protocol let me know, but for now, I'm going with "Chocolat 2" deux*
