Q: Is this your first show with Live Arts Theatre?
A: Christmas Carol: The Radio Play will be my second show with Live Arts. (Lauren Megan was also in our very last show, Spoon River Anthology).
Q: How is working on A Christmas Carol: The Radio Play affecting your attitude and excitement towards Christmas?
A: Being so far from home for the holidays, I am really blessed to spend my time preparing for Christmas with these amazing people. It’s such a great, warm, welcoming environment. This show and peppermint mochas have really gotten me into the Christmas spirit.
Q: What can audiences look forward to with A Christmas Carol?
A: Besides the Christmas joy and variety of characters/voices? Um, Jori singing “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” as a young boy with a cockney accent is definitely one of the highlights in this show. I told her it’s going to be my ringtone.
Q: Name two fun facts about you?
A: I almost always have candy on me. I spend half my life quoting The Office and the other half watching it.
