Question: What brought you to BWW?

What is your ideal vacation?

In the order in which they were recieved... :)

if you could strip naked any poster and use your mind control abilities to make him or her your willing concubine for the duration of your reign, who would it be and why?

I'm thinking it would have to be Judy_In_Disguise, she's just too darn hot. There are others of course... But they know who they are. (ominous chuckle)

What inspires you?
I am inspired by people who have made sacrifices for what they care about. People who are not afraid to live their lives with an element of doubt because they are pursuing their dreams. This includes the fireman who goes into a burning building because the act of saving someone gives them purpose, those in theatre who spend years just 'getting by' because they need to create art, and all of those who are driven by pure desires that do no harm and celebrate the joy of living.

Congratulations, CK!! I adn=mire you for so many reasons. You really deserve your day in the sun (not the heat, just the sun).

If a musical was made of your life, who would play you?

Not seconds... I'd say saving the best for last!

ckeaton, which article which you've written for BWW are you most proud of?
Which one did you enjoy the most?

---

What brought you to BWW?
I was doing a google search for Kerry Butler. (A little schoolboy crush.) I found an interview that our own Rob Diamond had done with her, and I loved what I read. Then I noticed that Rob and I graduated from the same school, same major, about a year apart. I sent him an email to say hi, then joined, and the rest is history.

What has been your favorite thread?
I really enjoyed the BWW Survivor that I Probst-ed (yes, I'm making that a verb). I also enjoy the occasional political discussion/argument. But my all time favorite was the infamous Kristin Chenoweth thread that got deleted all too soon. ~ff~ knows what I'm talking about. That was a hell of a fun thread.

What was it like to go to the Tony's? Was it all you expected?
I enjoyed being there. It was very interesting to see how it all went down. Definitely a one time thing for me, unless there's a really good reason to go in the future. The most amazing part for me... Being in a room with 6,000 people in black tie and gowns. It was so elegant. It truthfully reminded me of a what it must have been like to live in a gentler time.

What is your ideal vacation?
Australia. First class of course. I want to see it at least once in my life.

Other than that, a long relaxing vacation on the island of Capri

If a musical was made of your life, who would play you?
God, I'd love to say Hugh Jackman, but it's probably more like Oliver Platt.

Which article which you've written for BWW are you most proud of? Which one did you enjoy the most?
I was really proud of the Bruce Jordan Shear Madness article, for two reasons. One, it was very cool to talk to the creator of a show that is such a huge business. Two, because he really enjoyed the finished product and gave me a lovely compliment.

I do enjoy writing the articles. The interviews are nerve-wracking, so my favorite to write had to be the brief reviews of the Shaw Festival. That was pure fun. I'd love to review more shows.

That's why we love ya!

Which writers do you most admire?

What is your ideal meal? What is your favourite comfort food dish?
Comfort Food: Beer Cheese Soup. (Sounds wierd, is so yummy.)
Ideal Meal: A good old fashioned Lobster roast sounds good today... Maybe some Roasted Corn and Crabcakes, Conch Fritters, Fresh Lobster, Grilled Veggies...

What has been the top five theatre experiences you've had so far?

• Playing bass in the pit of 'Guys and Dolls', 'Anything Goes', and 'Oklahoma!' in high school.
  
• Watching people's faces every night at the regional theatre that I work for.
  
• Goosebumps for about a straight hour during the Roundabout Assassins.
  
• Having a wonderful moment with my mom, during Gregg Coffin's Convenience, tears and happiness.
  
• Every time the houselights dim.
  

What upcoming productions are you most looking forward to?
Geva's Urinetown and Williamstown's The Opposite of Sex.
And anything else I can get tickets to!

---

Can you share what you're working on for your next article?
Right now, I am a blank slate. Just give me an assignment, Perry.

What would you love to write about?
I would love to do a series on great regional theatres. How they were founded, the keys to their success, etc. That would involve travel and time. Which I don't have the time or funds for at the moment.

Which writers do you most admire?
I admire the hacky guys who make a ton of money for writing novels that buy them big mansions... Dan Brown, Dean Koontz, Stephen King, etc.

In my heart though, I love the people that can craft a story artfully, and obviously love what they do.

What's the first thing (drink) you got loaded on. Where was it?
Bahama Mamas, in Freeport, Bahamas. I was pretty young.

What do you think is the silliest word in the english language (or a few of them)
Onomanopoeia, is a hell of a word... and also results in some of my favorite silly words such as: Boink, Thwack, and the ever purposeful Squish.

What are three things you think every person on here should remember?

• Life is too short, so live without regret... Someday you might not have the opportunity or capability to pursue that dream.
  
• Be nice to bartenders, waiters, drivers, etc. Most of the time they aren't there because they want to be, and chances are someone has already been nasty to them once today already.
  
• The birthdates of their significant others.
