Two packed houses. I guess the theater sat 2,700 people every night so it was an amazing experience.

I remember going to the theatre when I was little and the lights going down and just getting really scared about what was going to happen up there.

The Majestic Theater in 1990. That was one of my first real shows where I had 300 to 400 people there.

I realized I really enjoyed theatre, so I did shows up in Seattle like 'To Kill a Mockingbird' and 'Lost in Yonkers.'

Theatre was my first love. I can't take the theatre out of me. And I wouldn't want to. To me, it's home.

I had spent time in New York, where I loved the idea that theater could be done up in tiny little rooms rather than for lots of money on a big stage, and be tied to ordinary life.

My auntie Anne took me to 'Phantom of the Opera' in London. I thought it was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen.

When I was a kid, they bussed us down to a screening of 'To Kill a Mockingbird' in an old theater, and it was just a great experience.

Thirty years ago, we were in a movie theater and thought it was so cool because we were finally delivered from the horrors of stained glass and wooden pews.

Theater has always been terrifying to me.
