It's the first show of the season for First Stage Theatre Company, and we have some interviews with the cast to share.
Up first is the actor playing Poe himself - here's Lillian Ramsier:
Q: What is the play Poe's Midnight Dreary about?
Lillian: The play takes place in a hospital in Baltimore. Throughout the play, Poe is haunted by his creations as he and the others narrate his stories.
Q: Tell us about the part you play.
Lillian: I play Poe, the lead in the show. It’s been one of the best roles so far.
Q: Why did you want to be part of this play?
Lillian: I wanted to be part of this show because I love Poe and his works and I love working with First Stage.
Q: What shows have you done before - or is this your first play?
Lillian: This is definitely not my first show. It’s my 13th show all together. I’ve been in other shows like Tom Sawyer as Huck Finn and Without Strings as Cricket.
Q: If a kid reading this was thinking about trying out for a play, what would you tell them?
Lillian: Do It. Shows are so much fun and has helped me with so much. It’s a great experience for everyone.
Q: Why would you recommend Poe's Midnight Dreary?
Lillian: If they like scary things and Poe, they’ll love this. It’s a great story line and it may be a once in a lifetime experience to see this show.
Thanks, Lillian!
