Legend has it that you’re a pretty busy drama major. What projects are you working on right now?
I’m directing Collected Stories (a senior thesis) and assistant directing Hamlet with Señor Viccellio.
What’s it like being Ben Viccellio’s apprentice? How does one describe learning art from such a master? I try and take in every eyebrow raise in hopes that I can mimick it in my future career.Â
Hamlet is basically about ghosts, right? If you could be visited by the ghost of anyone, who would it be and why?
It would be Frank Sinatra, because even in his pale, ghost-like form, his soothing voice could lull me into a deep sleep. I would perchance like to dance with him…but if he’s a ghost I probably couldn’t do that.
While we’re on the subject of the afterlife: how are you coping with the loss of Gourdzilla? I just think that we mistreated a friend. He was so great.
If you could create the special at Middle Ground, what would you make?
Breakfast, lunch, or dinner?
Your call.
Pumpkin chocolate chip pancakes with that peppered bacon that they used to have. Seriously, where the FUG did that go???
How did you like that episode of Greek I just showed you?Â
1. You were right.
2. It was alot better than Pretty Little Liars.
3. I think they’re better at beer pong than we are.Â
