This is sort of a joke... it is really focused on performers, lets see how much I can fill in. :o)
REAL NAME: Justina Lee Schwartz
LAST SHOW YOU ADDED TO YOUR RESUME: Just the last show? Does SM at Bumbershoot count? Acting... I was in a 10 minute play during my Sophmore year.
LAST SHOW YOU AUDITIONED FOR: Whatever show was before The Honorable Urashima Taro, Spring '01
DID YOU GET INTO IT: Nope, I ASMed and then toured with Taro
LAST SONG YOU USED AT AN AUDITION: I sang a song during my Freshman acting class
FAVORITE THEATRE (VENUE): Mount Baker Theatre, amazing acoustics and beautiful arcitecture

FAVORITE MUSICAL: Man of La Mancha
FAVORITE ROLE & FROM WHAT SHOW: I really don't know because it's not something I think about.
NAME A THEATRE SUPERSTITION: Saying Macbeth on stage. If it's opera, it cracks me up that you can't wear lavendar backstage during an Italian Opera.
LAST PART YOU PLAYED IN A SHOW: Aside from that one 10 minute? The lady in Taro (I don't even know if I had a name)
YOUR GOAL IN SHOW BUSINESS: To always enjoy it and never have it burden my life.
FAVORITE DIRECTOR: Chris Alexander or Jonathan Miller
WHAT WAS YOUR VERY FIRST SHOW: Mrs. Sims in Our Town? (High School)
HAVE YOU EVER HAD A DANCE SOLO: None on the stage... unless I'm just being a nut during rehearsals. :o)
HAVE YOU EVER HAD A SINGING SOLO: Only in my car with the music up loud
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN THE LAST PERSON TO TAKE A BOW: Nope, SMs don't bow (at least I don't), I just blush.
NAME A SHOW YOU'VE DONE MORE THAN TWO TIMES: None, I have all new experiences!
HAVE YOU BEEN TO NEW YORK: Yes, but for work. I need to be more social and cultural this year.
HAVE YOU BEEN TO LA: Yep, and I'll back soon to visit
SCARIEST PART OF AN AUDITION: Cutting off the auditionee when they're over time
BEST PART OF AN AUDITION: Greeting the auditionees before and after their audition, they are completely different people. I like being the calming influence.
NAME A SHOW YOU WOULD NEVER DO AGAIN: As an SM? I don't know if there is a show I wouldn't do again... there are directors I would prefer not work with... :o)
NAME A SHOW YOU COULD DO FOR YEARS: A children's show... like Taro or Theft of the Gold where the response of the young audience changes the show every time.
NAME A SHOW YOU WOULD LOVE TO DO BUT HAVE NEVER BEEN IN: I would love to call a Cirque show... or something similar.
NAME A PERSON YOU'D LIKE TO WORK WITH AGAIN: There are several people... and a few of them I've already worked with again.

ON A SCALE OF 1-10 HOW IMPORTANT IS GETTING PAID: ummm... 8? It depends on the show and the work load.
WHAT IS YOUR MOST MEMORABLE PERFORMANCE: The SM for my first big show, Macbeth
WHAT'S SOMETHING EMBARRASSING OR UNEXPECTED THAT HAPPENED TO YOU WHILE ON STAGE: While on stage? I don't really know. Off stage? Definitely didn't expect to go through every broad sword and then some during the Macbeth/Macduff fight.
WHO IS THE MOST DIFFICULT PERSON (ON STAGE OR OFF) THAT YOU HAVE EVER WORKED WITH: It wouldn't be fair to point fingers and name names... after all, we all grow up and I haven't worked with some people in a long time.
EVER BEEN NAKED ON STAGE?: I prefer to be clothed in a performance and in the booth.
WHO OR WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST INSPIRATION OR INFLUENCE?: My little sister. I want her to follow her heart and do something she truly loves, even if the family doesn't get it.
IF YOU COULD BE A RICH FAMOUS PORN STAR OR A STRUGGLING THEATRE ACTOR WHICH WOULD YOU CHOOSE? I couldn't do porn without laughing... so a struggling SM.
