Cast Member Blog - Lindsay Hall



Each week we'll be bringing you blog entries written by members of the cast and crew of Angels in America. This week, cast member Lindsay Hall talks about her excitement for the show, some backstage info on the process so far, and...was that really a Miami Vice reference? For more information on performance dates, how to buy tickets, and more, please visit our website. And don't forget to become a fan of Student Arts Collective through Facebook! Now, Ms. Hall, what say you?

What a ride!! My name is Lindsay Hall, and I am playing the roles of Hannah Pitt and Dr. Henry in our production of Angels in America. Work on this amazing piece started March 7th, and ever since it has been quite an adventure. The Studio Theater is finally ours, now that Rep Stage's production of The Glass Menagerie has closed, and it feels really good to just throw ourselves into such a vulnerable world!! Sue [Kramer, Director] and Erin [Drum, Stage Manager] have been wonderful; coaching, listening, and feeling everything along with us. I haven't gotten to "play" in costume yet, but the ugly doctor shoes I purchased for the role are actually growing on me :). I really wish Daniel would pop his collar more often...Don Johnson would be so proud :). As for the actual script, seeing it up on its feet in a way is really helping to pull the story together. It's such a powerful story and I am so glad that it is here for a short while for us to experience as a cast, as a community, as a family. The best is yet to come!!!!!
