What is your role in this production? I’m playing Lord Windermere in this production. He’s an austere traditionalist man who deeply loves his wife.
What is your background in theatre? At Walterdale? I’ve been involved in theatre since elementary school. Recently I graduation from Grant McEwan’s Theatre Arts program. Last Spring I appeared in Sunset Syndrome for Walterdale’s From Cradle to Stage Festival.
What brought you out for this show? What drew you to it? I heard about the audition for the show from a friend! I was a little asleep at the wheel! It’s Oscar Wilde! How could I pass that up! He’s one of the great wits.
What should audiences expect from the show? Audiences should expect a hilarious evening of theatre where an assortment of British upper crust experience problems we can identify with to this day.
What has been the most fun thing about working on this show for you? Sussing out all the closet nerds on the cast (there’s lots of us!). The most challenging? Hardest part is maintaining posture. It puts a hurt on you.
Favorite Oscar Wilde quote? “I have nothing to declare but my genius.”
