Where were you born?: Plainview, NY

Worst job you ever had: Weekend birthday clown. Hired with a couple of college friends, we drove our own cars filled to the brim with balloon pumps, candy machines & character costumes; had to negotiate cash-only contracts at the start of the parties; the outfit was the same Halloween single-use one-ply plaid number, no makeup; was ransacked with a vengeance by at least two sets of older siblings every weekend; my bunny that I used for my party-stopper magic shows had a heart attack; pretty sure it was & still is a drug front. And for the cherry on top: the boss’ name was Adolf. The pay was pretty good though.

Left-handed or right? Left handed!! Always in my right mind. (I believe the brain hemisphere/dexterity argument was debunked, so take that, self.)

Which do you prefer french toast, pancakes, or waffles? This is a toughy for a diabetic, but I’m going to go for a pancake because I have cultivated my own sourdough pancake recipe, and to use a Long Island hyper colloquialism – it’s the jump off.

What do you love about what you do? I love being dedicated to playing. It keeps life so fresh.

Favorite ERS show (whether you were involved with it or not)  Fondly, Collette Richland. It was 50 years ahead of its time. We’re going to remount it in 2065.

Best thing about working with ERS:  The people!! Every time I walk into the office, into rehearsal, or run into an ERS folx, I know that shared space between us all is a moving and thriving relationship built on trust, dedication, acceptance and humor.
