P.J. Schoeny joins New Leaf for the first time, but we’re already big fans. He’s a company member at TUTA, a sometimes-reckless bicyclist, and holds that Quantum Leap is the best TV series in the history of TV. For him, he says, it’s also family prerogative.
1. In a word, today I feel: Self-aware.
2. I am a theatre artist because: nothing else allows me to touch others and challenge ideas so intimately.
3. I am a theatre artist in Chicago because: Chicago knows how to treat its artists, better than New York, better than LA, better than Sheboygan. Chicago theatre is like the town itself – constantly rising from its own ashes to create something beautiful and new.
4. In regards to The Long Count:
a) Today, I am most excited about: being The Man. That’s right.
b) Today, I am asking myself this question: How can I leave for a week?!
5. Five years ago, I thought: I would never find out what to do with my life.
6. Five years from now, I: hope to have traveled across many oceans.
7. In a word, how do we build a future from a present we didn’t expect? Continuously.
