Wow I had no idea Jared threw a fit for not being cast as Hamlet. That would be like me throwing a fit for not being cast as Juliet or something. Really, what?

Yeah, it was pretty unbelievable. I kept it quiet back then because I was embarrassed for him, and he did end up getting over it. But seriously, what the hell?

His behavior during that time was gross and deeply despicable.

But what I remember about that show is the simple yet striking set, with your vibrant and characteristic use of color. The wonderful performances and, before that, rehearsal after rehearsal as people pieced together their words and movements. The stress relieving hysterical bonding laughter over "flocks of angels" and every other repeated shenanigan.

It was a pleasure to be involved in the process, moreso than almost any play I've been involved in before or since, and I hope that you can reclaim the positive memories.
