Tell me what this nomination means to you
0:02
It means everything. To get to have even done English was a miracle
0:09
And then to have closed two months ago and now be getting the accolades of, you know, the Tony Awards, the highest award in the land
0:18
It's surreal and an honor. We're just thrilled. We're really, really thrilled that our little show was remembered as part of the larger conversation
0:28
You know, you're talking about this little show was such a beautiful show. What made that so special of working on this show
0:34
Because you've done other beautiful things. But what's so special about this one? I think English is just the perfect combination of a play that is really, really well built
0:44
And the message is operating on many, many levels. But it's not beating over your head on any of it
0:53
And especially now in our world where we are really at an empathy deficit English really demanded that of the characters and of the audience So it was just really meaningful to be part of something that I really felt like was and I don say this in a light way
1:15
I really feel like it was changing people's minds on a nightly basis
1:21
But isn't that great about theater and the arts, what they do? They entertain and teach all at the same time
1:28
Yeah, English, I feel like, was the perfect combination of that. it was a really fun play
1:36
You could just come and have a great time, and it will pull at your heartstrings
1:41
and it will make you maybe look at your fellow man a little differently, which, to be part of something like that
1:47
that's what we all, I think, aspire to. When they pinned you today, do you remember what you were thinking
1:53
I just couldn't believe it. This all feels like an out-of-body experience
1:59
and I just saw the pins, and I thought, that's for me? That's for me
2:04
My child self is really freaking out. Yeah
