Q: What is your favourite part about performing in hospitals?
A: I think the best thing about performing in hospitals is the difference you can make in someone's day. We've met lots of people throughout this process who have had really tough days, weeks, months, or years. Theatre has an amazing ability to transport people to a different world; turning a hospital room into a battle field, a stuffed bear into a mysterious woodland monster, and a straw taped to a coffee stir stick into a sword. One of my favourite responses we received from a patient was, "Thank you, you made me forget I was in a hospital for a moment". This has been the most rewarding experience for me, as a performer, that I have had in my young career.
