Note from the Director - Jane Anderson

Talking With... is a show I originally saw in the 1980s, and it resonated with me immediately. It has stuck with me ever since. Each character is tremendously multifaceted; it's like peeling away layers of an onion. Every time I hear one of the monologues, I discover something new—something I'd never thought of before.

Did I mention I've directed this show three times? (Yes, it's a favorite.) The writing is excellent and allows actors to grow and build their characters in various ways. It's a brilliant tool to build acting skills, and I think you will find that to be the case with tonight's show.

Some of the faces you will see are familiar to the ACT stage; others are relative newcomers. Each individual brings brilliance to their character, their own heart and soul. And I hope they're incredibly proud of what they bring to the stage tonight. I know I am.

Thank you for choosing to spend your evening with us. May you be entertained and also leave with something to ponder.
