That's what horses say. I'm playing a horse ("Nugget") in T@F's upcoming production of Equus. You may wonder why. I thought it would be fun to be part of this play, and to work with Dave, but having just finished The Lady's Not For Burning I didn't really want to learn a lot of lines. Also, there's a whole lot of gardening I want to do this spring. I can do theatre in the fall and winter, but I can only plant a cherry tree in the spring.

So playing a horse sounded like a fun challenge. There's no words or voice inflection to work with; it has to be all physical. This will be an interesting challenge for me, since I tend to be a rather intellectual performer. I look forward to the challenge.

I am very excited to see the performance you develop--as you say, I think this is very new territory. Plus, I'm excited to be back onstage with you!
