I think there's a weird stigma in the TV-film world that theater people can't be funny and understand subtlety, and I think that could not be more wrong.

My older sister Celia is an actress as well. She's a little bit older than me. So, in my formative years, she was always performing, and we would always go see her do things. And so, that just made me want to be... like her. Maybe if she was an Olympic swimmer, I would probably be an Olympic swimmer by now as well!

Any show that has a completely gay ensemble has the very difficult task of trying to represent the community.

You see everyone's true colors in a rehearsal.

Kris Kringle' is a holiday musical for a new generation - a gorgeous score paired with a heartwarming tale of family and forgiveness.

I have seen the movie 'Showgirls' over 25 times.

YouTube came out when I was a sophomore in college, and I feel like I was one of the first people to put musical theater stuff online.

I grew up in a time where there were no queer digital references.

People have not given children enough credit to understand the idea of death. But I really think they do.

I've gotten to work with people like Kristin Chenoweth and Chita Rivera... Seeing their process is so interesting. Seeing that these people aren't immortal - that they go through the same motions as we do and ask for feedback and break down scenes... They have to work, too, and that's really exciting to see.

Knowing at the end of the day you get to go home and you can work on your own project is super rewarding as an actor.

I think one of the traps of theater - what makes it so amazing is that it's not able to be mass-produced, but it also makes it hard to get work seen by people because if you're a creator, you do a cabaret or something, and maybe 100 people will see it and then it ends the night that you close it.
