We chatted with Jessica Sherman about our upcoming production of Pinkerton Comes to Prospect. We asked why she wanted to be involved in this production, what she loved about her character, and what type of person would enjoy this show.
Lighthouse Festival (LF): Why did you want to be involved in this production?
Jessica Sherman (JS): I wanted to be in this production because, firstly, I would be in anything Steven Gallagher loves or directs. Also, the script had me at “howdy”. It’s fun, it’s energetic, it’s the perfect summer theatre piece. And who doesn’t want to perform within a stone’s throw of a swimming hole (or Great Lake)?
(LF): What do you love about your character?
(JS): What I love about Widow Hazard’s Friend is she’s like a dog with a bone. She knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to put herself out there to get it.
(LF): What type of person is going to love this show?
(JS): So many people will love this show; anyone who loves a farce, a western, a romance, a rom-com, or this cast!
