                          The FIRST scene when we first come back to life after being dead - we are all freaking out because we can't believe that we have "voices, bodies and dinner jackets" again! 

& Favorite Line

                          "It was a good dream."    This line comes at the end of a monologue I deliver and I believe it sums up the show in five words. 

4.  Through your character's eyes what is Forever Plaid about?

                         Getting another chance at life to perform music that was a huge part of my life and my past. The show is also fulfilling a dream from my childhood: recording an album with the three other members of Forever Plaid.

5. What do you hope audiences take away from the show?

                         The experience of traveling back in time and reliving the days they had when this music was popular.
