First Broadway show ever saw: Nefertiti (the babysitter didn't show, so Mom brought me to work)
If you could go back in time and catch any Broadway show, what would it be? A Streetcar Named Desire, wouldn't you?

Favorite board game: Scrabulous, R.I.P.

First stage kiss: Christopher Durang's A History of the American Film. Then I got mono.
Favorite post-show meal: Angus McIndoe (I think Angus might be faking his accent, though).
How you got your Equity card: Shakespeare in the Park, Henry V.
Worst onstage mishap: Juilliard 1996: I got hit with food poisoning as a spear-carrier and ran through the audience and out the doors then home in the snow dressed as a Roman sentry. They never found the spear.
