We're doing a practice run.
My name's Sofia Gomez, and I am Elmire in
the production of "Tartuffe" that will take
place at the Shakespeare Theatre in DC.
Yeah, and I'm Steve Epp, and I'm Tatuffe.
Oooh.
And when I was there before, I was Truffaldino
in "The Servant of Two Masters," but, you
wouldn't know it because I had a mask on my
head.
Oh.
And I was Ariel in "The Tempest," but you
wouldn't know it because I had a rope attached
to me and very, very, very, very blond hair.
Yeah, and you were just flying around, and
all they could see was up your dress.
(LAUGHS) Which they will also get to see in
"Tartuffe."
Yeah, some of us.
(LAUGHS) If you could wear your costume anywhere
outside of the theatre, where would you go?
I would put on my costume from the table scene,
and then stroll down the Mall to the Lincoln
Memorial, climb up into the lap of Abraham
Lincoln, and just roll around.
(LAUGHS) Okay, if I could take my costume
outdoors and wear it somewhere, I think I
would— The big blue dress.
The big blue dress.
It's huge.
It weighs actually 15 to 20 pounds, I was
told.
People live under there.
I would take— They do!
They whole house of Orgon lives under my blue
dress.
I would take myself and my costume to, I'd
have to take them to the Founding Farmers
and I would eat bacon in it.
Oh, nice plug.
I hope they've got an advertisement in the
program.
(LAUGHS) Are you just fishing for a free meal?
Oh, you're just fishing for a free meal.
I'm fishing for a free meal.
