We're at the final performance of The Heiress. With that, let's introduce Evan Jones making his debut as director at ACT!

1. Why should people see The Heiress?
I've assembled a tremendous cast and crew for this brilliantly written play. A play who's themes are as relevant today as they were in 1947.

2. School is back in session; what is the best lesson you have learned in theatre?
Make bold/dynamic choices, speak with purpose, accept the good and bad in yourself while trying to improve.

3. What is your favorite pumpkin spice food or item?
Pumpkin pie?

4. Tell us about your character.
As director, it's my job to provide the canvas, paint, and brushes for my actors to paint with.

5. The toughest part of The Heiress so far?
My cast and crew have made the entire process very fun, and have made my job a lot easier. The toughest part was probably spending all my free time over the summer at the theater. ... See MoreSee Less

We’re back for our final weekend! And who better to introduce than the wickedly talented Laura Darling making her ACT debut as Mrs. Montgomery!

1. What is your favorite pumpkin spice food or item?
Pumpkin pie, for sure.

2. You’re going to Europe for 6 months with an unlimited budget; where would you go?
Um, everywhere. With particular attention to libraries and castles.

3. Tell us about your character.
Mrs. Montgomery is the poor, widowed sister to Morris Townsend. She has 5 children to support and a less than helpful brother, who she loves for who he truly is. She sees a lot of herself in Catherine and wishes others could have the happily ever after she was denied.

4. What is one movie that everyone needs to see?
Casablanca.

5. What are you reading/watching/listening to these days?
I'm reading Neil Gaiman's Ocean at the End of the Lane, Terry Pratchett's short Discworld series, and Sarah Ruhl's Eurydice.

6. What was your favorite subject in school?
English. They grade us on reading : )

7. The toughest part of The Heiress so far?
I think this role is vastly different than others I usually play. I have to make a direct impression and point in a very short time period. My goal is to leave people scratching their heads and saying "what is her deal?" It's hard to do so much in so few lines, but I had great direction to help me!

8. Do you have a metaphorical theatre mother and/or father?
No, but I think I am some people's theatre mom!

9. What is The Heiress about?
Revenge. Sweet, sweet revenge.

10. School is back in session; what is the best lesson you have learned in theatre?
Don't be afraid to feel weird on stage. If we only stayed inside our comfort zone, we never grow.

11. Why should people see The Heiress?
It is a great show with an amazing cast and has a lot to say about self-worth and how people see you.

There’s nothing wrong with sweet, sweet revenge! Luckily, you can see that tonight at 7:30! ... See MoreSee Less
