in Spain. What have been some of
your scariest experiences?
So many scary ones, but all of
them exhilarating. My first performance of this show, the first
show I have written, in front of an
audience was pretty scary. However, I guess the scariest was running with the bulls in Spain. You
don’t realize how big and powerful those animals are until you are
right next to them. They are so
incredibly beautiful, powerful, athletic, and violent at the same time.
What was the most rewarding?
Most rewarding? I would say the
show. Never in a million years did
I ever think this show would be as
successful as it has been. To receive the positive responses from
critics, to be nominated for an Amnesty International Award for theatrical excellence and to be asked
to tour the show across the country has been thrilling. But the most
rewarding has been receiving the
personal messages and letters
from veterans thanking me for my
work. That has been unbelievable.
I have been enriched 100 fold as
a person and artist because of this
show and will always be incredibly
grateful for the lessons of courage
I have learned from all of the veterans’ letters.
