What neighbourhood do you live in?
Harbourfront. Best thing? watching drivers the moment they realize they're on the streetcar tracks. The waterfront is also pretty nice.
What’s the best line in the play?
"Our doubts are traitors and makes us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt" (it's also Lucio's line so I may be biased, but I mean, this is a solid line)
Measure for Measure is being performed at a music venue. If you were in a band, what kind of band would it be?
Whistling barbershop quartet.
If your character were at Junction City Music Hall, what drink would they order?
All the drinks: start off buying shots of tequila for everyone, moving on to classy cocktails, then a few of the cheapest beers on tap, convince a few people to buy me a few more, then sneak off to another party and repeat.
What's your take on prunes? Yes? No? How would you prepare them?
Yes. juice.
Which character from Measure for Measure would you want to be friends with in real life?
Mistress Overdone.
Coffee or Tea?
TEA!
