The first straight play (non-musical) I
did in college was Arthur Miller’s A View
from the Bridge. That was the semester I was supposed to be taking a break
from theater to focus on my studies. I only went to the audition to help out as
a reader. And because I had nothing to lose I gave it my all and I got cast in
lead. And so it was a wonderful surprise when my then director and former professor
recently invited me to see a matinée performance of the new Broadway production
of the show at The Lyceum Theater.
