Nickname: Hinky or Marbar--but there are only a select few who are allowed to call me those.
Pre-Show Ritual: Too delicate to discuss. I am superstitious.
Currently Reading: Alice Munro's Too Much Happiness
Highlight of the year (so far): Watching my son ski down Mt. Washington in New Hampshire.
Your perfect day: Having my family around. Apple-picking, or hiking, or a day at the beach. Late afternoon; a big dinner, and a campfire with children and friends and family til late at night. Everyone gathers around listening to shared talk and music.
Favorite theater Urban Legend: Not saying the name of "The Scottish Play" in the theatre.
Title of autobiography: "Where's the Stage?"
Favorite place in NYC: The whole city. I love it.
If you could meet anyone dead or alive, who would it be and why?: I would like to bring back all my ancestors and sit everyone down--all their children and grandchildren included--and then I would like to have one of my favorite days with them all together (see above).
Hidden talent: Still searching for it.
Last show you saw and LOVED: I was so taken by Other Desert Cities. Those performances...
A guilty Pleasure: I love snuggling with my son in the morning. So much so that I sometimes don't care if I have to take him to school late...not so good.
