| IN THE GREEN ROOM FOR THE SEAGULL |
Meet Erin Fried who plays Masha in the upcoming production of Anton Chekhov's The Seagull.
Tell us about yourself. I am originally from Boulder, and while at CSU, I have played Ellen in The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail, Varnka from 33 Swoons , and my favorite role - the female admirer from Picasso at the Lapine Agile.
Why are you looking forward to being in The Seagull? I'm thrilled to present a classic play with a genuine heart.
What do you think the audience will most enjoy about The Seagull? This play pulls straight from the very psychological hardships of everyone's life. As director Walt Jones told the cast on the first day, this play is about "love getting in the way of living our lives." MEET MORE OF THE CAST
