[Jessica Boevers, who plays the female love interest, was quick to point out that, contrary to earlier reports, her character does not have obsessive compulsive disorder.] I think that showed up in a press blurb somewhere, and people have been saying it ever since, ... Actually, my character has more of a common story. She's a kid who comes to New York with dreams. She's really intelligent and has so much to offer, but hasn't found her place yet, or where to put her energy. |
Joe [Brooks] is really interesting in that he's worked on a lot of film and he's worked in a lot of different mediums. So as much as he had a clear vision, he also was very much into discovering it as it went. So he brought us one text and we came up with a very different one. We just all sort of watched it appear in front of our eyes. None of us knew what this show was until we began previews. |
The thing that strikes me most of all [about the experience] is that it's just been wildly collaborative. Joe [Brooks] set up a rehearsal room where we could all just dig in and play together, and we've had a great time. So we really all feel kind of responsible together, like we created this all together. |
