Erin McCarson, Actor/Director/Playwright

What an interesting conversation we had with Erin McCarson - who wears many hats in the theater industry. First we chatted about her acting career, her many diverse talents, some past favorite roles, the one role she wants to play for her mom, and her gravitational pull toward "sad clown" characters. We moved on to her directing career and found out her views on picking plays to direct, which types of shows are most challenging, and one special show she wants to direct. We ended our talk getting all the details about "The Cake" - the show she is directing at the HART Theatre in Waynesville, her story about the first time she saw the show (a little embarrassing...), and what does she want to hear patrons saying afterwards.
