Featured Company Member: Jennifer Mathews
Q: What is the first show you were ever in, and what was the experience like? A: I believe I was 9
years old, and the play was Oklahoma. It was with the Maxinkuckee Players,
a local community theater group made up mostly of teachers that did one
musical each summer. From what I remember, it was a total blast. I was
heavy into "Little House on the Prairie" back then, so to be able to wear
long dresses and bonnets like Laura Ingalls was a gas. That was my first
taste of how fun it is to pretend to be someone else. A: Oh my...where to
start? I suppose the biggest challenge for me personally is to juggle
acting with my family life. I have two small children, and it can be quite
daunting to balance my responsibilities as a wife/mother, arts
marketer/publicist, and actor. Luckily I have a fantastic husband who
picks up a lot of my slack, or I truly wouldn't be able to do it.
A: Honestly, right now it's total, complete
silence. The kind of quiet that wraps itself around you like a warm quilt.
It's very rare in my house, so I treasure it when it comes!
A: Maybe perezhilton.com...I check that
website at least once a day. Or just celebrity gossip in general. I don't
know why, but I'm a sucker for who's dating who when and for how long and
behind who's back, etc. I keep appraised of only the very basic
information regarding current events, but ask me any detail about Angelina
Jolie and I can't be stumped. It's pretty sad, I know.
A: Probably when we won the Outstanding
Production Jeff for Kentucky Cycle. Sharing that moment with my colleagues
was so gratifying. KC was my first play with ICT, as an actor and a
company member. We all worked our asses off, but boy did we have a blast.
Being recognized by the Jeff committee that night was some mighty sweet
icing on an already delicious cake. A: Human nature...why we do what we do, nature vs. nurture, that whole debate. But I'm also really fascinated with tornados...does that count? |
