Questions

On set one day, one of my writers notes that she can’t believe how much of a show runner’s job is answering questions, all day. The props guy (WHO I LOVE) comes up to me carrying multiple cast iron frying pans full of rubber duckies and weathered bottles of conditioner, I choose. I choose actors and words and pants and songs. I weigh in. That night, I dream that I’m taking a very long escalator down to the middle of the earth, or a train. A man my own size comes up to me and starts to ask me lots of questions. Without question or hesitation, I pick him up over my head, and throw him down the stairs.

    Hi, Bekah, I just saw The Cake, produced by HART Theatre, here in Waynesville, NC and looked up your info because I thought your play was extremely well written…and so contemporary. I was delighted to discover that you are a UNC-CH graduate, as I am. I also lived in LA, pursuing an acting career, from mid-70s through mid-80s. Ended up producing, writing and acting in two award-winning independent feature films during/after my LA stint. Anyway….blah, blah, blah…lol…just wanted to say, go, grrll! Very happy for your success.
