Hi Marta On The Move listeners! This is my 50th episode, how time flies! Want to celebrate with me? Awesome, because I have a great episode for you all!
Stage and Screen actor Patrick Wilson joins Marta On The Move with composer and musical director Thomas Douglas. Patrick has starred in many shows, and is known for his film work in Angels In America, The Watchmen, Little Children, Hard Candy, along with his hit show Fargo. He is back in Pittsburgh at his old Alma Mater, Carnegie Mellon to direct The Full Monty at the Phillip Chosky Theater for the CMU School of Drama. Patrick himself starred in The Full Monty on Broadway and was nominated for a Tony for his role in the show. Thomas Douglas is the musical director for The Full Monty. He also takes the titles of Director of Opera Studies, Director of Choral activities, a leading composer, Artistic Director of the Bach Choir, and director of over 200 performances here and abroad.
I was nervous as all get out for this interview, and could not wait to sit down with both of these exceptionally talented men. Patrick was extremely honest, humble, and hilarious, as was Thomas. We even got a little singing going on. What a great time talking about the show, their musical backgrounds, movies, travel, hobbies -you name it!
Patrick, Thomas, a huge thank you goes out. From me to you both, for taking the time out of your busy schedules. They were even running late for dress rehearsal!!! I am so honored, and I cannot wait to see the show next Saturday with these wonderfully talented kids! Our city puts out the best there is, and I am so proud to be a small part of that. Get your tickets to see the show here. it runs until the 27th of this month.
Speaking of films, next week is the release with CEO/President Chris Breakwell from 31st Street Studios here in Pittsburgh!!! They are calling us the "Hollywood of the east" let's see shall we? Hopefully we can convince Patrick to shoot a movie in our city at some point in the future, while wearing his new MOTM shirt! ;)
