QUESTIONS
with

John
Fagan, Artistic Director of the Upstate
Shakespeare Festival
1.
What's the best show
you've ever seen?
This
choice ages me; the original cast of Sunday
in the Park w/ George.
2. Who is your theater
hero?
I've
got two: Julie Taymor & Steven Sondheim.
3. Favorite Beatle.
Always
been partial to John Lennon.
4. Who
was your most
memorable
teacher?
Sister
Margarita. She was over 900 years
old and more than capable of handling
a roomful of 4th graders. I think I learned
more from her than any other teacher,
just so the Devil wouldn't take my soul.
5. "re"
or "er"?
re
6. If
you could see a
play at any theater
in the world...
The
original production of Romeo & Juliet
at the Globe.
7.
Favorite place to eat
Wherever
someone else is cooking.
8. What other job in
the theater would
you like to attempt?
Don't
know. I've tried just about everything.
I've acted, designed, stage managed, written,
directed, run box office, cleaned bathrooms,
been a critic...what's left?
I'd like to try that.
9. If a book was written
about your life, what
would be the title?
The
best damn MFP yet!
10. Describe what you
contribute
to the
theater
(in one
sentence.)
I
hope I can contribute the best theatre
one can get by pulling stuff out of a
beat up blue truck.
Thanks
