The best things can happen after the curtain goes down... Megan Sweeney on meeting the casts of our productions


UC Berkeley Students with the cast of
Loose Cannon's A Midsummer Night's Dream? at the Project Arts Centre on June 15

Two phrases come to mind when I think of Ireland thus far: dreary, gloomy weather and an intense, demanding workload that has pushed everyone in the best ways.  However, Ireland has also been great fun.  My favorite times are when the class meets the actors after the show.  Very different from the states (love that word), the actors come out after the performance to mingle and have a drink at the theatre bar.  It’s refreshing to talk to the actors; they are just as human as us all- they are humorous, charming, intelligent, and kind.   I have had lengthy conversations with actors from the casts of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and Midsummer Night’s Dream.  It’s very inspiring to talk with the actors after they perform.  They are just living their dream...and anyone can do it.
