"The engine room was being painted black. There were people upstairs. I was new to the group and 17 years old and just blown away by these people. Everyone was laughing and having the time of their lives. And I’m not gilding the lily here. I remember it distinctly, I made a point of taking it all in, memorized it, I knew I wanted to remember this forever. The dedication and love for the theatre was electric.
